Solidago canadensis (Canada goldenrod) and Bombus (bumblebee)

During World War 1, rubber was recognized as a strategic commodity as supplies ran short in the industrial world. The U.S. imported rubber from Southeast Asia and the East Indies. In the 1920′s, Thomas Edison began his search for a home-grown source of rubber. 

The rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis, is not the only source of latex rubber and after testing more than 17,000 plant samples, Edison decided on goldenrod with a yield of about five per cent latex. Edison selected the varieties that seemed to have the most potential, divided the roots, planted them separately, divided them again, and started crossbreeding. It was time-consuming; but a giant goldenrod about fourteen feet tall yielding about twelve per cent latex was ultimately developed.

Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone became interested and put big money into the project. Vast fields of goldenrod were planted, processing factories were built and goldenrod tires were introduced to the market in 1929. Unfortunately, 1929 was not a good year for business in general and the invention of the synthetic rubber Neoprene (made from petroleum byproducts) in 1931, doomed this fledgling industry. During World War 2, German synthetic rubber factories were specifically targeted by Allied bombers.

please do talk about the history of plastic here as well! it sounds very intriguing

We're getting into contemporary history, which is my worst suit but: in the interrogation I specifically mentioned Bachelite, so, it was just a few words about how it was first obtained from a reaction between formaldehyde and fenol, creating a kind of molecular 'map' resembling that of lignina (fenol rings connected by CH2, that sort of thing?) - during a time when most electrical insulating materials were made of lattice, which was plant-produced (by the Hevea Brasiliensis if I'm not mistaken), the fact that Baekeland was able to produce a material which could substain the same temperatures was important for the progress in computers and other electrical circuits. And to substitute for the ivory used in pool balls, also.

The tricky thing about lattice is that it can't be synthetised easily because the 'rubber' is isoprene, which can have both cis and trans geometrical isomeria, and while in the plant there is an enzime which makes them all cis, so they form the spirals that make rubber elastic and moldable (and then you can make it solid with vulcanisation, which makes double solfur bonds inbetween spirals) - its human synthetisation lacks those enzimes, so we got a mixed bag of the two versions, until the Ziegler-Natta catalysts were made. And Bachelite was a good alternative for thermoelectrical insulation because it was easier to produce than the plant-harvested lattice, although for its more elastic-serving uses we first substituted it with SBR.

Commercial Rubber Farming Business Guide For Beginners

Commercial or large scale rubber farming is a very old and popular business in many countries around the world. People are using rubber from the ancient time and it's production is profitable. Rubber is actually an elastic solid material which is retrieved from latex of many tropical trees. It is used for many purposes which may include erasers to tires, tubes and industrial products. Rubber is also known by many different names, such as natural rubber, India rubber, latex, caucho, caoutchouc, Amazonian rubber etc. Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and India are the leading rubber producers. 'Hevea brasiliensis' is the most important and commercially cultivated rubber plant. These plants basically grows up to 30 meter height and begins yielding latex at 6 to 7 years age. More than 28 million tons of rubber were produced in the year of 2017. And among the production, 47% was natural. The price of natural rubber is determined, to large extent, by the prevailing global price of crude oil (since the bulk is synthetic, which is derived from petroleum). Asia was the main source of natural rubber, accounting for about 94 percent of output in the year of 2005. And top 3 largest rubber producers are Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia (together account for around 72 percent of all natural rubber production). Natural rubber is not cultivated widely in it's native continent of South America because of the South American leaf blight, and other natural predators available there. Uses of Rubber Rubber is used for many different purposes. Uncured rubber is used for cements, insulating, for adhesive and friction tapes. And for crepe, rubber is used in insulating blankets and footwear. While the vulcanized rubber has many more applications. Resistance toabrasion makes softer kinds of rubber valuable for the trends of rubber valuable for the treads of vehicle tires and conveyor belts. Around 25 million tonnes of rubber are produced each year globally, of which only 30 percent is natural. The remainder is synthetic rubber derived from petrochemical sources. The top end of latex production results in latex products such as surgeon's gloves, balloons and relatively high-value products. Advantages of Rubber Farming Business Like many other agri business, commercial rubber farming also has numerous advantages or benefits. Here we are trying to describe the top benefits of commercial rubber farming business. - Commercial rubber farming is relatively a simple and easy business. - Beginners can also start this business easily. It is just like starting other crop farming business. - Commercial production of rubber is very easy, and profitable at the same time. So, it can be a great business for making money. - Beginners can start this business with proper training and support. - Commercial rubber farming is very profitable and it can be a great employment source for the people (especially for the educated but unemployed people). - Both demand and value of rubber and all related products are high. - Many people are already doing rubber farming business commercially for making profits. - You don't have to worry much about starting this business if you are a beginner. Because many people are already doing this business. - Marketing rubber products is relatively easy. Because rubber and all the related products have very good demand and value in the market. - Production costs are relatively high, but the profits are also high and you will get back your invested money soon. How to Start Rubber Farming Starting commercial rubber farming business is relatively easy if you follow every steps carefully. You can start this business easily with little practical knowledge. We recommend starting commercial rubber production after having full training. Here we are trying to describe more information about commercial rubber farming business from planting, caring to harvesting and marketing. Site Selection Rubber plants grow well in highly deep weathered soils which consist of laterite and lateritic soils. But the plants grow best in well drained porous soils with moderate acidic in nature. If there is a good organic matter in the soil, then the rubber plants also thrives in red alluvial soils. pH between 5.0 and 6.0 is best for rubber cultivation. Prepare the Soil Remove weeds and make the land clear before planting. Then make pits with dimensions of 120 cm x 45 cm x 60 cm. You will be able to make 200 to 250 pits per hectare land. Add 10 kg organic matter and 150 grams of rock phosphate per pit. Climate Requirement For Rubber Farming Commercial rubber production requires heavy and well distributed rainfall of 200 cm to 300 cm, having humidity about 75 percent. Ideal temperate for proper growth of rubber plants is between 20°C and 35°C. The plants require 5-6 hours of sunlight. Freezing temperatures will halt the growth of rubber plants and strong winds are not suitable for commercial rubber farming. Propagation Propagation in rubber farming is generally done through green budding, crown budding and brown budding. Purchase Plants Rubber plants are easily available in the nurseries. You can collect plants for planting from any of your nearest nurseries. Planting Plant the small plants in the main field where you have made the pits ready earlier. June to July is the best season for rubber plantation. Caring Taking good care of the rubber plants will ensure good production. Here we are describing more about the caring process. Fertilizing Rubber plants respond very well to organic matter and fertilizers. Apply 10-12 kg of well rotten organic manure and 225 grams of rock phosphate in each pit during land preparation. And this dosage is recommended up to 4th year of planting. Irrigation Watering or irrigation should be provided depending upon plant growth. Controlling Weeds Weeds consume nutrients from the soil and the rubber plants will suffer. Weeding is generally carried out manually or chemically or through a combination of both. Intercropping Intercropping will generate some extra revenue during the first two years of cultivation. Some suitable intercrops in rubber farming are turmeric, ginger, vegetables, tuber crops, banana, pineapple, medicinal or herbal plants etc. Cover Cropping Cover cropping is very helpful in sloppy areas for preventing soil erosion. This also helps to enhance the soil fertility and controls the weed growth along with soil temperature. Intercropping leguminous crops will help in nitrogen fixation in the soil. Calopagonium muconoides, centrosema pubescens, pueraria phaseoloides and desmodium evalifolium are common cover crops in rubber farming. Pests & Diseases Mealy but, cockchafer grub, scale insect, white ant and mites are the main pests in rubber cultivation. Abnormal leaf fall, bird's eye spot, secondary leaf fall, powdery mildew, leaf spot, bark cankers, dry rot, pink disease, stump rot, collar rot and brown rot diseases are the main diseases found in rubber farming. Contact your local agriculture extension office or horticulture department for more information about controlling these pests and diseases. Yield Exact amount of yield depends on the method of propagation. But yield usually increases year by year in any method. Total yield reaches peak after 14 to 15 years of planting. An annual average yield of rubber is about 375 to 400 kg per hectare from seedlings trees. But the average yield is 800-1000 kg per hectare in budded plants. Marketing Marketing rubber products is relatively easy. Although, you should determine your marketing strategies before starting this business. These are the common steps and ways for starting and operating a successful rubber farming business. Hope this guide has helped you! Good luck & may God bless you! Read the full article

I got a lot of stimulating questions for “Fascination of Plants Day”. Here are some questions and my answers.

Q: Here's a simple one, how do plants breath? A: Through their stomata, the microscopic pores usually found on the undersides of leaves. These tiny mouths can open and close depending on humidity, light stimulus, and chemical signals. The pores allow CO2 to enter the leaf and oxygen to exit as part of photosynthesis. Plants also do aerobic respiration, and in this case they take in oxygen and give off CO2 when releasing energy.

Q: Do plants undergo UV damage too? A: Yes they do! Excessive UV radiation can damage the DNA in plant tissue just like in human skin cells. Damage to the photosynthesis cellular equipment is a big danger from UV light. Plants have a plethora of other pigments, like anthocyanins, to help absorb excess UV light and keep the correct amount of UV light stimulating photosynthesis but not damaging the cells.

Q: Which plant is historically the most important? Why? A: One highly important plant in human history that often gets overlooked is the Rubber Tree (Hevea brasiliensis). This South American tree's secretions are the raw material for natural rubber. Indigenous Americans discovered the latex's potential for making rubber sports balls, chewing gum, and works of art but it wasn't until the Industrial Revolution in the Western world that rubber became really important. A lot of Industrial Revolution transportation technology, like automobiles, hoses, tires, modern cooking equipment, and more rely on rubber components. The cultivation of rubber tree plantations also changed the political and economic history of many nations in South America, Southeast Asia, and Africa in the late 19th century.

Q: Which discovery from plant science has had the widest application in other fields through reverse engineering? A: This is a question with a lot of answers, but one example I like is Barbara McClintock's discovery of transposons or "jumping genes" in Native American multicoloured corn. The mysterious colour patterns of these beautiful corn cobs, which are a popular autumn home decor item in North America, inspired the scientist to look into the biological cause of the colour patterns. Subsequently, these jumping genes were found in all prokaryotes and eukaryotes and help explain the presence of non-coding DNA.

Q: Hello, please tell me what method and fertilizer should be used to enlarge and spread the leaves of flowers and plants. Thank you. A: Hi there! For encouraging leaf development, I recommend using fertilisers that are high in nitrogen. A natural high nitrogen fertiliser is processed chicken manure. To encourage flower and fruit development, a fertiliser higher in phosphates is better. A natural choice is blood, fish, and bone meal.

Q: Any thoughts on how to get rid of the lily beetle? A: There are commercial pesticides, but another approach might be to introduce parasitoid wasps into your garden! These are tiny wasps that are harmless to humans but prey upon the Lily Beetles (Lilioceris lilii). The wasps lay their eggs in the beetle larvae bodies, and eat them from the inside out. Gruesome, but a natural and effective way to control the beetle population. There are some native British species of parasitoid wasp shown to be effective against Lily Beetle overpopulation, so maybe these could be introduced into your garden?
