Abstract: Volume data of 50 rubber trees were fitted by weighted Least Square Method for 16 volume equations. Furnival′s index criterion was used to select the best fit equation for overbark and underbark volume. The logarithmic equations adjusted for bias were omitted. The best and final equations used to construct the overbark (Vd) and underbark (Vq) volume tables are Vd =3.8×10-5D2H-0.000 063,and Vq =3.1×10-5D2H-0.000 102. The equations could be used to estimate the aggregate standing volume satisfactorily.
