Abstract

Different types of freshening tools developed were evaluated in actual field conditions for resin tapping from Pinus caribaea trees. The developed tools were user friendly. The tools were evaluated for freshening holes made for tapping resin using bore hole technique from P. caribaea. Use of all the developed freshening tools led to increase in resin yield over control. Out of different freshening tools developed and tested, hand operated augur type tool showed appreciable increase in resin yield up to the third freshening and is recommended for use in the resin tapping operation of bore hole technique to enhance resin yield.
