 Tapping of hevea Rubber Latex

Hevea latex is the milky-white colloidal fluid naturally produced and stored in the laticifer cells of Hevea brasiliensis (the Pará rubber tree), representing the world's sole commercial-scale biological source of natural rubber. It is tapped by making incisions in the tree's bark, causing the pressurized latex to flow into collection cups, typically yielding 30–40 mL per tapping session per tree.​
