印度政府认识到科学研究对促进天然胶工业的重要性后,于1955年成立了橡胶局领导下的印度橡胶研究所。其主要任务是通过研究、推广和改进天然胶的生产和质量。主要活动领域包括农学、土壤学、植物生理、采胶、植物保护、微生物、化学和工艺学等方面的基础研究,以及栽培、加工方面的技术培训工作。附设三个不同位置的试验站,供进行大田试验,和一个拥有大量书刊的图书馆。 Recognizing the importance of scientific research for the natural rubber industry, the Indian government established the Rubber Institute of India under the authority of the Rubber Bureau in 1955. Its main task is to research, promote and improve the production and quality of natural rubber. The main areas of activity include basic research in agronomy, soil science, plant physiology, plastic mining, plant protection, microbiology, chemistry and technology, as well as technical training in cultivation and processing. There are three pilot stations in different locations for field trials and a library with a large number of books and periodicals.
