Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating story of a collaborative effort to establish a rubber industry in Latin America during the 20th century. The author, a leading researcher at the time, presents a detailed chronicle of the cooperative rubber project, which spanned fourteen years and involved the United States Department of Agriculture, various Latin American governments, and private companies. The book chronicles the many challenges faced in establishing this new industry, from developing disease-resistant strains of rubber trees to overcoming the cultural hurdles of introducing a new cash crop to small farmers. The book explores the unique blend of scientific research and practical experimentation employed to adapt existing knowledge from the Far East to the specific conditions of Latin America. The author highlights the key breakthroughs in controlling the South American leaf blight, a devastating disease that threatened the success of early rubber plantations. He then goes on to illustrate how the scientists involved developed a hybrid tree, uniquely tailored to the climate and environment of the Western Hemisphere. The book goes beyond merely documenting technical achievements. It provides a nuanced view of the complexities involved in developing a new agricultural industry, from the importance of regional research stations to the vital role played by private companies. Through this comprehensive account, the author sheds light on the complex interplay of scientific innovation, government policy, and social factors that ultimately shaped the success of the rubber project. Ultimately, the book serves as a valuable historical record, illustrating the transformative power of international cooperation in developing a vital new industry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
