Abstract

Rubber or rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) is one of the export commodities that become the source of income for the state income. From year to year, the increasing demand for rubber in various areas is very significant. Dusun IV Bandar Sidomulyo is a hamlet located in Lempuyang Bandar Village, Way Pengubuan Subdistrict, Central Lampung Regency with ± 200 houses where source of livelihood is still depend on rubber plantation. So the residents must be willing to peel the skin of rubber plants at early days to get maximum rubber yield.
