Efficient Multiplication of Dendrocalamus asper for Commercial Application

The study involved 20 replicates per treatment in three repeated experiments
Acclimatization involved the use of sterile cocopeat, transparent polyethylene, and a balanced mixture of sand, soil, and farm yard manure
High humidity and increased temperature facilitated rapid acclimatization
A macropropagation method was developed by utilizing in vivo formed rhizomes during acclimatization
Micropropagation followed by macropropagation resulted in 2.3-2.7 fold higher multiplication in vivo
The multiplication method described in the study is deemed suitable for commercial application
Well-acclimatized plantlets of 90 and 180 days old were successfully transferred to the field
The survival rate of the plantlets was high, with 93% surviving in the first month and 91% after 6 months of planting
Mortality was higher among younger plants and almost nil among older plants
In vitro-generated D. asper plants performed promisingly in the field
The technology developed can be used for sustained supply of bamboo and for plantations and forestation purposes
The protocol offers accelerated multiplication and simplicity, making commercial exploitation feasible
