Planting stock selection of bamboo (Dendrocalamus strictus) using macro proliferation technique

Planting stock selection of bamboo (Dendrocalamus strictus) using macro proliferation technique J. Bamboo and Rattan , Vol. 2, No. 1, pp. 23– 28 (2003) Ó VSP 2003. Also available online - www.vsppub.com Planting stock selection of bamboo ( Dendrocalamus strictus ) using macro proliferation technique R. KUMAR ¤ and M. PAL Plant Physiology Discipline, Forest Research Institute, Dehra Dun, 248006, Uttaranchal, India Abstract —A study was conducted to determine the effects of age of seedlings, position of rhizome subunits, removed and used as propagules, on growth and proliferation of Dendrocalamus strictus . The results showed that age of seedlings did not affect the proliferation rate, while position of rhizome subunits varied in growth and proliferation rate. The material taken from Ž rst position of rhizome subunits showed maximum proliferation, while material taken from third position of rhizome showed maximum growth and biomass. The position of rhizome subunits in bamboo clump is an important parameter in using this macro proliferationtechnique to obtain planting material for mass propagation. Key words : Seedling; proliferation; rate of growth; position of rhizome. 1. INTRODUCTION Bamboos are perennial woody, tree-like grasses of the family Poaceae (syn. Graminae), with a natural habitat between 46 southern and northern latitudes. Excluding Europe, it thrives at altitudes from sea http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Bamboo and Rattan Brill
