RISDA provides premium fertilizer assistance to all small farmers who are involved with the following program :

• Replanting Program;
• Rubber Productivity Incentive Scheme (SIPG);
• Rubber Productivity Improvement Program (PPG).

In order to ensure the quality of the supplied fertilizer is high quality and meet the set specifications, all the fertilizers supplied by RISDA to small farmers need to go through testing processes such as nutrient testing, moisture, physical specification quality (sampling), weighing, and packaging.

Fertilization Method Depends On :

• Tree Age and Root Development;
• Fertilizer Types – Fertilizer Nutrient Solubility Properties and Soil Chemical Reactions; (As Recommended by RISDA)
• Soil Type and Condition - Potential Factors for Storing Nutrients,
• Soluble Diffusion and Erosion;
• Rain – Heavy Rain Increases Runoff and Erosion; and
• Fertilizing Costs – Labor Factors and Fertilizing Frequency

SPUR is a storage place for fertilizer stock received from the factory to be used as a buffer stock for SPT. SPUR Store Management is managed by the State RISDA Office (PRN)

SPT is a storage place for fertilizer before it is distributed to Small Farmers. SPT is managed by stockists appointed by District RISDA Office/ Colonial RISDA Office / Divisional RISDA Office

RISDA Always Ensures The Supply Of Rubber Seeds To Small Farmers Is Always Sufficient And Of Quality And Supplied According To The Set Time,

In addition to that, RISDA also emphasizes on the seed clones that are supplied with high yield potential, fast growth and resistance to disease and wind resistance.

Group I clones contain clones with a known track record based on unplanned yield data on BO-I, for at least five years and two years on BO-II. This group also has secondary trait information in large-scale trials e.g., Large-Scale Cloning Trials (LSCT, Controlled Development Project (MDP)) or commercial cultivation. These clones are recommended for planting in estates and small gardens without any restrictions on the number of clones and their planting size.

Cultivation of clones from this group is allowed up to 40% of the replanted area of ​​rubber only. These clones should be planted in the block system as arranged.

Clone Identification Methods

The concept of clone identification is an identification method to ensure that a clone has similarities or differences with other clones according to secondary, morphological and biochemical characteristics.

• List of risda nursery centers. There are 19 RISDA Nursery Centers throughout Malaysia
• BEFORE 2007, NUMBER = 11, AREA = 526.64 HECTARES
• AFTER 2007 NUMBER = 19, AREA = 645.01 HECTARES

Nursery Objectives

1. To grow and produce large-scale and high-quality plant materials
2. To prepare materials for adult rubber plants if necessary
3. Determining the plant material that is transferred to the field has a high initial success rate
4. To reduce the cost of developing a plantation by reducing failures in the early stages of tree growth To get trees that can be tapped in the short term

A nursery is a special area where plant material is raised to be transported to the farm. A nursery can be thought of as a factory that produces plant material

The transport of RISDA's fertilizer and seed supplies to smallholders involves three main value chains, namely:

• Fertilizer transport from supplier/factory to RISDA central store;
• From the RISDA central store to the responsibility central store and;
• From the central store of responsibility to the smallholder.

While the transportation of seeds is from RISDA's central nursery to smallholders.

• Implement Agronomy Advisory Services to RISDA Officials Deployed, RISDA Replanting Program & Farm Scheme 1956/1959
• Conducting Soil Sampling Tests
• Conducting Leaf Sampling Tests
• Carrying out Feasibility Studies of Areas Involving Farms Owned by RISDA/li>

Provide tissue culture palm seeds that are able to increase fresh fruit bunch yield (BTS) by 10-20 percent compared to DxP palm seed plants and increase oil yield by 20-30 percent.

1. High-quality clones will be able to be produced quickly compared to conventional methods.
2. The clone is more uniform than the seed.
3. The characteristics of quality appearance materials will be ensured.
4. The selection of palm trees with special characteristics such as slow growth, resistance to diseases and insects and others will be produced.

"Tissue culture is a method of cloning in the laboratory that involves the production of callus (proliferating cells) where cells from plant parts such as leaves, stems, roots and flowers can reproduce independently"

"RISDA is committed to ensure that the ortet is taken according to industry standards as well as the ramet production process according to established industry norms. Accordingly, on 13 September 2019, RISDA has successfully obtained MS 2099:2008 certification recognition from SIRIM"

In order to ensure that the operation of RISDA's tissue culture laboratory is always at its best, RISDA has established cooperation with the MPOB, particularly in relation to the transfer of palm oil cloning technology.
