Abstract

The Sarawak State Government has assigned the Sarawak Timber Industry Development Corporation (STIDC) to lead the development of the bamboo industry in Sarawak. Since bamboo research in Sarawak has received meagre attention, baseline information on the early survival rate and field growth characteristics of bamboo are essential for the development of the bamboo industry. A study to evaluate the survivorship and field growth characteristics of a three-year-old bamboo was conducted at the Sarawak Bamboo Pilot Project site in Sabal, Malaysia. Study plots were established at bamboo plantation areas with four different potential bamboo species grown in Sarawak, namely Bambusa vulgaris (Buluh minyak), Gigantochloa levis (Buluh beting), Gigantochloa hasskarliana (Buluh beti), and Dendrocalamus asper (Buluh betong). Survival rate and field growth characteristics in terms of the number of culms per clump, the number of new shoots, culm diameter, culm height, mean annual increments of diameter (MAID), and height (MAIH) were measured and quantified quarterly in the year of 2021. The findings revealed that the highest mean survival rate (88%) was found in G. levis, and the lowest survival rate (70%) was found in G. hasskarliana. However, the lowest mean culm diameter was observed in G. levis at 2.66 cm, and the highest was in B. vulgaris at 4.51 cm. Notwithstanding, B. vulgaris remained with the greatest mean culm height of 12.61 m. Nonetheless, G. hasskarliana depicted the highest number of culms per clump and shoots with 91 culms and 3 shoots, respectively. The MAID and MAIH of B. vulgaris were significantly higher than the other species with 1.69 cm year-1 and 4.72 m year-1, respectively. The scientific information and findings from this study would be useful as guidelines for bamboo industry players, managers, nursery practitioners, and policymakers to begin and carry out the development of the bamboo industry, mainly in Sarawak.

马来西亚婆罗洲沙捞越竹产业发展所选四种竹子的存活率和田间生长特征
沙捞越州政府指派沙捞越木材工业发展公司(STIDC)领导沙捞越竹产业的发展。由于沙捞越的竹子研究很少受到重视,因此竹子的早期成活率和田间生长特性的基础信息对竹子产业的发展至关重要。在马来西亚沙巴的沙捞越竹子试点项目现场进行了一项研究,以评估三年生竹子的存活率和田间生长特性。研究地块位于沙捞越竹子种植区,种植了四种不同的潜在竹子品种,即 Bambusa vulgaris (Buluh minyak)、Gigantochloa levis (Buluh beting)、Gigantochloa hasskarliana (Buluh beti) 和 Dendrocalamus asper (Buluh betong)。在 2021 年,每季度对成活率和田间生长特征进行测量和量化,包括每丛茎秆的数量、新芽数量、茎秆直径、茎秆高度、平均年直径增量(MAID)和平均年高度(MAIH)。结果显示,G. levis 的平均成活率最高(88%),G. hasskarliana 的成活率最低(70%)。不过,G. levis 的平均茎秆直径最小,为 2.66 厘米,B. vulgaris 的平均茎秆直径最大,为 4.51 厘米。尽管如此,B. vulgaris 的平均秆高仍然最高,为 12.61 米。不过,G. hasskarliana 的每丛秆数和芽数最多,分别为 91 根秆和 3 个芽。B. vulgaris 的 MAID 和 MAIH 明显高于其他物种,分别为 1.69 厘米/年和 4.72 米/年。本研究的科学信息和结果将为竹产业参与者、管理者、苗圃从业者和政策制定者提供有用的指导,以开始和实施竹产业的发展,主要是在沙捞越。
