The Rubber Authority of Thailand (EGAT-style agency กยท.) is setting up a 7-region working group and AI-based weather monitoring (humidity and rainfall) to warn of leaf fall disease 2-3 months ahead. Prevention will lean on biological products (Bacillus subtilis, Trichoderma) and drones, with chemicals only at the early stage. Recovery of damaged trees will use biologicals and organic fertiliser. The agency will also judge success by national rubber output rather than by the area infected. For rubber-growing SMEs and suppliers, watch for regional disease alerts and plan spraying and tree-recovery budgets earlier. No deadline or new charge is stated.
