บทคัดย่อ (EN): The study is a socio-economic evaluation of the demonstration plots having S/2 d3 tapping system with stimulation. The demonstration plots ware established in the rubber smallholdings in different locations to popularize low frequency tapping (LFT) system by participatory monitoring and evaluation. The mail objectives of the study were to analyse the socio-economic profile of the participating smallholdings and to identify the contributory factors/ barriers for the adoption/non-adoption of LFT by the growers. The database consisted of a sample survey covering 48 participating rubber small growers and the tappers attached to the holdings. The analysis showed that the average size of demonstration plots (0.89 ha) is higher than the average size of rubber smallholdings in Kerala (0.50 ha) indicating that holding size is one of the factors prompting the adoption of LFT. The dependence on hired labour for tapping is higher and there exists an in-built flexibility for adopting new tapping technique in the case of growers dependent on family labour. It is also observed that the average size of holding (4.45 ha), average size of rubber area (3.30 ha) and average size of demonstration plot (0.91 ha) are higher for the growers dependent on hired labour. Hence, the size of holding (number of trees) emerges as the key factor facilitating the adoption of LFT in the case of holdings dependent on hired labour. There is a steady shift towards multiple grower dependence from the historically observed pattern of single grower dependence. The resistance from tappers to start LFT was observed only in the smaller holdings with lower number of trees and the resistance was mainly due to: (i) loss of tapping days; and (ii) increase in work load due to higher yield from unit area. The growers overcome the resistance by (i) resorting to self tapping: (ii) by assuring employment to tappers in other grower’s holdings; and (iii) by offering incentives for extra production. Despite the positive signals emerging from the scheme the scale neutrality of LFT remains suspect in the unique regional context of Kerala with smaller size of the holdings and higher dependence on hired labour. The study highlighted the point that size of holding is a major factor determining the adoption of S/2 d3 tapping with stimulation. Availability of family labour is a key factor influencing the adoption of LFT in smaller size groups with less than 1 ha area under rubber. Hence, institutional arrangements to overcome the in-built deficiencies of size and rigidities of the labour market are crucial for the effective implementation of LFT from a long-term perspective.
