Leaf dynamics and above ground biomass growth in Dendrocalamus longispathus Kurz

Box 273, Chittagong 4000, Bangladesh Abstract —Leaf production and culm growth as affected by different age groups of culms in a 10- year-old clump of Dendrocalamus longispathus Kurz were studied at Chittagong, Bangladesh. The total above ground biomass, bud break, branching pattern, leaf number and area produced by each age group of culms were investigated. The progressive increment of biomass-related morphometric parameters correlated optimally with the age of the clump. As the clumps become aged, the culms emerged in subsequent years were gradually taller with bigger diameter and more internodes. Leaf growth and defoliation are a dynamic process where leaf growth started in the first year of culm emergence but there is no defoliation.
