Abstract
Two noded branch cuttings of Bambusa balcooa Roxb., with rhizomatous swelling, treated with 200 ppm indole-3-butyric acid, gave 66.7% success in rooting and rhizome formation. 100% field survivals were noticed 2 years after field planting. However, the culms produced were small. Intensive management practices like fertilization, irrigation and regular soil working shortened the establishment period. The possibility of combining macroproliferation with branch cutting technique needs to be explored for fast multiplication of the species.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Bamboo and Rattan is a peer-reviewed scientific journal and provides a forum for scientific articles and reviews on all aspects of fast growing, multi-purpose pliable species. The scope of the journal encompasses income security, craft industry, small to medium size enterprises, industrial fibre and fuel. Articles related to natural distribution and conservation of species, genetics and biotechnology, harvesting and production systems, and environmental applications are also included, as well as papers on marketing and policy restraints in relation to bamboo, rattan and related species.
