Abstract

Increase in demand for rubberwood and rubber-based products has led to widespread rubber monocroppingin India. Studies show that multi-cropping can effectively mitigate the negative impacts of monocropping.Once a neglected cash crop, jackfruit cultivation now witnesses revival and value addition in states whererubber plantations are predominant. It is worth exploring the integration of the jackfruit tree as a multi cropin rubber plantations based on how well it can replace rubber trees in its applications. The paper reviewsexisting literature on the jackfruit tree to identify such potential areas of substitution. Jackfruit latex thoughunsuitable for most applications, shows promise as an alternative to natural rubber in adhesive-basedapplications. The timber also exhibits better structural properties than rubberwood. The root system and treespacing are briefly reviewed. This review will pave the way for further studies in integrating jackfruit treesas a multicrop which will help reduce monocropping and encourage jackfruit cultivation.
