Plant disease management plays a crucial role in sustainable agriculture, and rubber trees are no exception.
Given the growing complexity of rubber tree diseases in recent years, Giống Cao Su (GCS) proudly introduces the official Rubber Disease Diagnosis Portal — an online platform that compiles all available information on rubber tree diseases, verified by scientific experts.
About the Disease Diagnosis Portal
Table of Contents
Launched in May 2018, this specialized website is a research project developed by the Plant Protection Department of the Rubber Research Institute of Vietnam (RRIV).
It is the most comprehensive online database of rubber tree diseases ever compiled in Vietnam.
Users can easily access detailed information about each disease and even contact leading experts in plant protection (PP) for professional consultation.
Best of all — all resources are completely free of charge!
How to Access the Portal
Visit the official diagnosis website at:
https://chandoanbenhonline.rubbergroup.vn/
When you open the site, you’ll find two main tools on the right-hand menu:
-
“Diagnose by Symptoms”
-
“Diagnose by Disease List”
You can also click directly on specific parts of the illustrated rubber tree image on the left to explore diseases that affect those areas.
1. Diagnose by Symptoms
This feature allows users to identify rubber tree diseases based on visible signs such as lesions, latex flow, leaf color changes, or fungal growth.
Steps to use:
-
Click “Diagnose by Symptoms” in the right-hand menu.
-
A list of common symptoms will appear.
-
Compare these with the symptoms on your own trees (on leaves, bark, roots, or tapping panels).
-
Click on the corresponding disease name for detailed guidance on causes, symptoms, control measures, and susceptible rubber clones.
Example:
If you notice white or pink fungal threads resembling spider webs on branches with latex oozing and leaf wilting — the likely diagnosis is Pink Disease (Corticium salmonicolor).
Clicking the link will take you to the full disease profile with photos, prevention methods, and management strategies.
2. Diagnose by Disease List
This section provides an alphabetical list of all known rubber tree diseases, helping users quickly access relevant data when they already know the disease name or suspect one.
Simply click “Details” under each disease name to view its complete information — including causes, symptoms, and recommended treatments.
3. Pest and Disease Alerts
This section features real-time alerts and expert advisories on potential outbreaks, issued by the Vietnam Rubber Group (VRG) and national plant protection agencies.
It helps farmers take preventive actions early, reducing crop losses.
4. Official Documents and Directives
Here you can find official notices and technical documents issued by VRG and related authorities.
It includes updates on new diseases detected in Vietnam and global research relevant to rubber cultivation.
Conclusion
The Rubber Disease Diagnosis Portal is a valuable, science-based resource for anyone involved in rubber farming.
With its easy navigation, expert validation, and free access, it empowers farmers to detect, prevent, and manage diseases more effectively — ensuring healthier plantations and higher latex yields.
As part of GCS’s commitment to knowledge sharing, this platform represents our ongoing effort to promote safe, sustainable, and disease-free rubber cultivation in Vietnam.
