Bambusa vulgaris was multiplied by burying whole
culms during 2014 and 2015 at the Research Farm of
ICAR-Central Agroforestry Research Institute, Jhansi.
Two-year-old bamboo culms produced higher number
(165) of shoots than 1-year (114) and 3-year-old culms
(57). The culm planting method resulted in prolific
rooting pattern during monsoon season, and on an average
5.7 rooted plants were obtained from every alternate
node. Rooted sprouts were separated from
each productive node along with fibrous roots attached
to it and were planted in polythene bags as new plantlets.
This method of planting was found impressive for
developing live bamboo fence and producing a large
number of plants from scarce planting material. This
technique promises a large number of planting
material and readily acceptable technology to the farmers.
