Benefits of the short cutting method:
The short-tap technique for rubber latex tapping, adopted by plantations transitioning from traditional tapping, has proven its advantages over traditional methods by the 6th year: 
:
:- Bark saving is 4-6 times higher (depending on the tree's girth) compared to traditional tapping.
- Latex yield is maintained consistently and is higher than that of nearby plantations in the same year.
- Daytime tapping (D4) and short tapping are less fatiguing.
- Latex production in the following year is higher compared to the previous year, unlike the decreasing trend seen in traditional tapping.
- Bark heals faster, and from the 5th year onward, small-mouth tapping rejuvenates the old scarred surface.
- Trees exhibit larger growth compared to same-year traditional tapping.
- The method is easier to execute and has fewer gas residues compared to the drilling pneumatic method.
Benefits of the drilling pneumatic method:
- Immediate latex flow without the need for mouth clearing as in traditional tapping.
- Anyone can perform the task, and the work is less strenuous compared to tapping, with more flexible working hours during the day.
- Maintains good tree height and yield (if the correct method is used).nếu dùng đúng phương pháp)
- Easy rain cover, no latex loss, work can be done on rainy days.
- Saves bark area, suitable for plantations preparing for clear tapping.
The latex tapping methods, using the pneumatic drilling and small mouth swabbing techniques, are particularly suitable for elderly individuals due to the following reasons:
- Elderly people highly value their health, so tapping during the day using drilling or small mouth swabbing is lighter work than traditional tapping, avoiding fatigue and health issues. 
- Elderly individuals may have poor eyesight, making night tapping unsafe and potentially dangerous if immediate medical attention is not provided. 
- Those with years of experience in rubber cultivation tend to be more considerate of the rubber trees, tapping them appropriately without causing undue stress. This results in stable latex production over the years and conservation of the tree's bark
