The article “Conceptualization, modeling and environmental impact assessment of a natural rubber techno-ecological system with nutrient, water and energy integration” by Martinez-Hernandez E and Hernandez JE (2018, 185: 707–722) is based on a compilation of published information processed through a model linking natural rubber making to latex yield in rubber tree fields. Its main conclusion is that recycling processing wastewater could increase the yield by 62%. However, the statement that nitrogen input can significantly increase latex yield is based on a wrong quotation of the only cited reference. Moreover, the outputs of the model were not validated by actual data. The published literature actually shows that possible increase of latex yield by fertilization or irrigation would be much lower than 62%, and this invalidates the model. Its conclusions can then not be considered scientifically established.

Martinez-Hernandez E和Hernandez JE（2018，185：707-722）撰写的文章“具有养分，水和能量整合的天然橡胶技术生态系统的概念化，建模和环境影响评估”（2018，185：707–722）通过将天然橡胶制造与橡胶树田中的胶乳产量联系起来的模型处理的信息。其主要结论是，回收加工废水可以使产率提高62％。但是，有关氮输入可以显着提高乳胶产量的说法是基于引用的唯一引用文献的错误引用。此外，该模型的输出未得到实际数据的验证。实际上，已发表的文献表明，通过施肥或灌溉可能增加的乳胶产量将远低于62％，这使该模型无效。
