  abstract = {{P}redawn leaf water potential, sap flux density or tree transpiration and whole-tree hydraulic conductance are known indicators of soil drought on rubber tree ({H}evea brasiliensis). {H}owever, these parameters are difficult to access for farmers, in contrast to latex yield which is recorded every day. {H}ence, the aim of this study was to evaluate the potential use of latex yield as indicator of soil drought in the marginal rainfall areas. {T}he experiment was done during intermittent drought in the rainy season in a representative rubber plantation located in {B}uriram province, northeast {T}hailand. {T}he results showed that while the relative transpiration declined by 66% for severe soil drought, the number of rubber sheets per hectare and per tapping decreased slightly by 18% and did not differ for mild drought. {O}ther yield parameters per tapping such as fresh latex per tree or dry rubber content did not differ significantly despite tendencies between severe drought and well-watered period. {F}inally, the latex yield per tapping does not appear to be a sensitive indicator of soil drought.},
