Study Notes
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
