Report on feasibility study on the use of non-wood wastes from rubber plantation for energy production
Fallen wastes from a rubber plantation were collected during the 1991 fall season (March-April) in order to study the energy potential of the rubber plantation wastes. Rubber trees produced 227.3 kg/rai and 15.7 kg/rai of dry leaves and fallen branches, respectively. The rubber plantation wastes ran...
