The appearance of "dry trees" in rubber plantations and the development of Tapping Panel Dryness has been the subject of a considerable number of studies. A distinction can be made between the two main types of TPD through symptomatological and development differences. The total or partial absence of latex flow, or Tapping Panel Dryness in #Hevea brasiliensis#, may or may not be combined with necrosis. If there is none, it is usually the case of laticifer physiological fatigue induced by over-exploitation of the trees. After a rest period, tapping can be resumed, therefore, this type of TPD is reversible. The other type, necrotic TPD, i.e. brown bast, is a serious histological, cytological and metabolic disruption, which causes considerable disorganization of the entire secondary, including the latex cells. This phenomenon is usually irreversible. (Résumé d'auteur)
