Indonesia is the second biggest natural rubber producer in the world with 84% of the total production area constituted by smallholder rubber . Rubber smallholdings tend to have lower productivity and quality than estate plantations. Interplanting of A.mangium within rubber plots may be an attractive option for smallholder rub ber farmers in t he tropics to increase their land pr oductivity . However , Because A. mangium is a very f ast growing t ree species, careful timing of plant ing and spacing arrangements of A. mangium is prob ably required to r educe light and water c ompetition wi th rubber trees. Compet ition for wat er use between trees species in periods o f low rainfall m ay be another constraint to growth of th e rubber tree.
