Popis: Natural rubber (NR) is a widely used biopolymer, but the variability of its properties is a great disadvantage. In this work, variation during a 6-month period of total solids (TSC), dry rubber (DRC), ash, volatile-matter, and nitrogen content of field natural rubber (NR) lattices and mechanical properties of NR solid sheets-based compounds was studied. NR samples were collected from IAN 710, IAN 873 and FX 3864 clones of Hevea brasiliensis at a plantation within the state of Antioquia, Colombia. Rainfall, environmental temperature, relative humidity, and sunlight hours were daily registered. NR sheets-based compounds were manufactured and their rheometric and mechanical properties were measured. Significant variations (p
