The data were analyzed by Duncan test and its results showed that when compared to clean water （ck），80% and 100% of tea tree oil stimulation significantly promoted rubber latex yield（P＜0.05）. In addition，the latex physiological parameters changed with the sucrose content（P＜0.01），magnesium ion content （P＜0.01） and inorganic phosphorus content （P＜0.01） of latex significantly increasing and thiol content significantly deceasing （P＜0.01）. The effect of tea tree oil treatments on rubber yield was similar to the impact of 0.5% ethrel stimulation. However，compared to ethrel stimulation，100% tea tree oil treatment significantly increased dry rubber and sucrose contents （P＜0.01） and decreased thiol content （P＜0.01）. Thus，tea tree oil treatment involved different latex yield promotion mechanisms than that of ethrel stimulation.
