Rubber Research Institute of India has developed the 'CRISP' (Comprehensive Rubber Information System Platform) mobile app in collaboration with Digital University of Kerala. The information on rubber cultivation is made available in this app, integrating Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs), WebGIS technology and Information & Communication Technology (ICT). Information on location specific clones of rubber, fertilizer recommendations, control methods of disease and pests , rubber tapping & processing, as well as information on Rubber Producers' Societies (RPS), Group Processing Centres (GPC), Rubber Board offices and nurseries are also included. This app also provides information on areas prone to landslides and floods apart from farming practices to be adopted and avoided in those areas.
This mobile app has been updated by including domestic and international price of natural rubber. Price of various grades of sheet rubber, latex, cup lump, block rubber, etc. are provided. Farmers and traders can make use of this.
