Germination and Adaptation of Phyllostachys Pubescens (Moso Bamboo) in Uttarakhand
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Bamboo plantations are gaining importance all over the world due to fast growth rate, adaptability, resilience, substantial biomass production, soil/ water conservation, bio-energy generation, carbon sequester and CO2 sinks. The objectives of the study were to find out seed germination, seedling development and ecological adaptation of Phyllostachys pubescens in the temperate zone of Uttarakhand. P. pubescens commonly called Moso bamboo, having leptomorph rhizome system. Greater germination percentage in mist chamber may be attributed to better environment inside the mist chamber but the emerged seedlings were delicate, which resulted high transplanting mortality due to climatic shock. Field growth showed that survival was excellent and total planted seedlings alive two year after plantation in the field. Seedlings attained 1.8± 5.3 m height with 16.5± 1.6 culms plant-1 after two year of planting. The species spreading over the area and planting spacing has been completely covered by the culms. This initial trial can be used as rhizome bank, to supply planting material without waiting for long gregarious flowering, so that greater economic and environmental benefits can be obtained.
