Growth and yield performance of nine recently introduced clones of Hevea and two established clones were evaluated in a large-scale trial in the Kanyakumari District of Tamil Nadu. Significant clonal variations for growth, yield and bark anatomical traits were evident. Four clones, two each introduced from Malaysia (PB 255 and PB 314) and Ivory Coast (IRCA 109 and IRCA 111), exhibited provising growth and yield in the panel B0-1. However, on completion of eight years of tapping, the yield performance of PB 314, IRCA 109 and IRCA 111 were found to be on par with the control clone RRII 105. The significant yield improvement show by PB 255, could be considered as a real reflection of the high yield potential of PB 255. Based on the vigorous growth, early tappability, excellent bark characteristics, stability parameters, consistent high yield, high summer yield etc. PB 255 was rated as the best selection for the Kanyakumari region. High girthing clones, in general, showed lower number of latex vessel rows, but higher values for both these characters were found combined in PB 255.
