This document summarizes Aziroh Johari's 6-month industrial training with Risda Daerah Sik from November 2012 to May 2013. Risda is a government agency established to support smallholder rubber farmers. During her training, Aziroh assisted with programs to promote fertilizer use, latex stimulation, additional household incomes, and knowledge sharing with farmers. She also focused on identifying and treating three major rubber tree root diseases: white root disease, brown root disease, and red root disease. Control methods included quarantine trenches, fungicide treatment, and replanting with cover crops.

5. Learning days

8. Campaign Movement Fertilizing
(KGM)
OBJECTIVE PROGRAMME
 To ensure smallholder under aid of
Risda scheme adopt to
recommended fertilization technology
to increase the productivity of rubber
plantation.

9. Benefits of fertilization
 Increase result latex and rubber wood.
 Help avoid from attacks of a few leaf
disease.
 Accelerate canopy between tree.
 Fertilization can turn
on recovery renewed bark after in tap.

11. Latex Stimulation Material Usage
Campaign
OBJECTIVE PROGRAMME
 to expose and make sure that
smallholders will use the latex stimulation
material following purpose that has given .

13. Additional Economic Activity
OBJECTIVE PROGRAMME
Additional
economic activity Risda was aims to
help wives group or family
member smallholder in

new technique and more.

17. Learning days
OBJECTIVE PROGRAMME
 To bring closer relationship between
Risda officer .
 To practice about theory .

20. Special project
 Rubber Plant disease
 Have three major disease
I. leaf disease rubber tree
II. Incision panel disease
III. Root disease

21. Root diseases
 Most hazardous in rubber cultivation
 Communicable from tree to tree throu
gh meeting root.
 Also can occur by spore which
entered root through tissue wound that
exposed that exist in trunk part or
branch

22. Three main root diseases
White root disease (Rigidoporus
lignosus)
Brown root disease (Phellinus noxius)
Red root disease (Ganoderma philippii)

23. Red and white root disease

24. Grown root diseases

25. Significant tree marking
experience root disease
 The tree will die.
 The principal amount will decline.
 Total revenue latex and wood per area
unit will decline.
 Tree leaves that are infected by root
disease will be transformed colour
become yellowish
 The leaf will become
hard and curved below.

26. Treating Disease Root
 Method boycott by separatist ditch
 Check all around the roots of diseased
trees to healthy trees found.
 Cut any roots that cross the drain
 Drain the dug back every year and
any root cross drains.

28. Controlling Root Disease
1. Use planting management
 throw trees and roots to reduce initial
cause.
 Collect and destroyed all of infected root
using machine.
 Plant a ‘Kekacang Penutup Bumi’

29. 2. Treat with sulfur
 recommended use at the replanting area

30.  3. use chemical substances
 Know the types of root disease dig a little
ground in the trunk of the tree and see the
existence of fungal mycelium.
 For red and grown root disease: dig a
little ground and cut the root or wood area
that have a fungal mycelium and put a
‘tridemorph’.

31.  for white root disease : dig a ground
around trees and pour Bayleton or Tilt on
the spaces.
 repeat treatment after 6 month.

32. Conclusion
 Lastly, I delighted because this industrial
training abundant giving experience that
various and challenge to taste this areas
of agriculture.
