A species trial with eight commercially important rattan species was conducted at two different elevations in the natural forests in Kerala. When both survival and total height are considered, Calamus baratangensis is the best species suited for areas around 1000 m elevation and Daemonorops kurzianus for 300 m. In the 6th year C. baratangensis produced 18 m of commercially utilizable cane at 1000 m and 45 m at 300 m. But during the 8th year the survival percentage of this species was reduced to 10% at 300 m. At the end of 6th year four species reached a harvestable length at 1000 m and five species reached a harvestable length at 300 m.
在喀拉拉邦两个不同海拔的天然林中对8种具有重要商业价值的藤本植物进行了物种试验。当考虑到存活率和总高度时，菖蒲是最适合海拔1000米左右地区的物种，而Daemonorops kurzianus则适合海拔300米左右的地区。第6年，C. baratangensis在海拔1000米的地方生产了18米可用于商业用途的甘蔗，在海拔300米的地方生产了45米。但在第8年，该物种在300米的存活率下降到10%。第6年末，4个品种可收获长度达到1000 m, 5个品种可收获长度达到300 m。

Bamboo (Bambusa bambos) is one among the crops in mixed cropping home gardens in Kerala State, India. A statistically designed survey was carried out in home gardens in two different agro-climatic zones in Kerala to analyse profitability of bamboo in comparison with seasonal-annual crops, perennial crops and tree crops. Benefit-cost analysis shows that bamboo has at least a second position in terms of profitability among the crop groups in home gardens in the two zones. The high benefit-cost ratio of bamboo was due to negligible inputs and high farm price of bamboo. Advantages due to the existence of an organised wholesale market near the study area and the efficiency of the bamboo depots there make bamboo growing in home gardens profitable. The high ratio reported for bamboo does not recommend for increasing the cultivation of bamboo at the cost of other crops. It shows that bamboo is profitable in home gardens in villages with market advantages.

A type of sandwich beam, consisting of thin bamboo facings and poplar core, is proposed by the author, in order to increase the use of abundant precocious woods by reinforcing with bamboo layers. The objectives of this study are the experimental characterization of the static bending behaviour of the proposed sandwich beam and examining the theoretical predictability of the behaviour. The moment-deflection curve, computed on the basis of the stress extension across the beam section, corresponded remarkably well to the actual curves from the experiments. This computation method, interpreting the mechanical contribution of the thin bamboo facings to the bending capacity improvement, can be considered effective to estimate the ultimate strength, as well as the elastic plastic deflection evolution of the sandwich beam.

The suitability of any vegetation to a particular soil is greatly controlled by the establishment and proliferation of the root system in that soil, which in turn is decided by the nature and properties of the soil. As part of an attempt to introduce Calamus from natural forests to degraded lateritic soils of Kerala, this study was conducted to evaluate the root system development of two species of Calamus, viz., Calamus thwaitesii and C. rotang, grown in a degraded lateritic soil at Palappilly range in the Chalakkudy Forest Division of the State. Both species had been planted in plots of 90 m × 4.5 m size with a spacing of 1.5 m × 1.5 m. For collecting soil samples, five 3-year-old plants from each species were selected from the central row of each plot. Root parameters such as root length, rooting density, total root weight and fine root weight were determined in soil core samples collected from different depths (0-15 cm, 15-40 cm and 40-60 cm) and radial distances from the base of the plant (0 cm, 10 cm and 30 cm) at three randomly selected sampling points around a single plant. Various physical properties of these soil samples were determined using standard procedures and their relation with root parameters were determined. Results revealed that radial distance from the plant inversely affected the root growth in both the species especially within a soil depth of 0-60 cm rather than at different soil layers considered separately. Depth of soil also had an inverse relationship with root growth in both the species. Among the different soil physical properties, soil moisture and gravel were negatively correlated with all the root parameters while positive correlation was seen with sand. No definite relationship was observed with the bulk density in both the species.
任何植物对特定土壤的适宜性在很大程度上取决于该土壤中根系的建立和增殖，而根系的建立和增殖又取决于土壤的性质和特性。为了将天然森林中的菖蒲引入喀拉拉邦退化红土，本研究对喀拉拉邦Chalakkudy森林区Palappilly山脉退化红土中生长的两种菖蒲(Calamus thwaitesii)和C. rotang的根系发育进行了评价。两种植物的种植面积均为90 m × 4.5 m，种植间距为1.5 m × 1.5 m。采集土壤样品时，在每个地块的中行各选5株3年生植物。在单株植株周围随机选择3个采样点，从不同深度(0-15 cm、15-40 cm和40-60 cm)和距离植株基部(0 cm、10 cm和30 cm)的径向距离采集土壤芯样，测定根长、生根密度、总根重和细根重等根系参数。采用标准方法测定了这些土壤样品的各种物理性质，并确定了它们与根系参数的关系。结果表明，与植物的径向距离对两种植物的根系生长都有负向影响，特别是在0 ~ 60 cm的土壤深度内，而不是单独考虑不同土层。土壤深度也与两种植物根系生长呈反比关系。在不同的土壤物理性质中，土壤水分和碎石与根系参数均呈负相关，而与沙粒呈正相关。在这两个物种中，没有观察到与容重的明确关系。

Microbial N, CO2 evolution rate and mineral-N dynamics were determined in soils collected beneath the canopy of two different bamboo species in a 9-year-old bamboo forest developed on an abandoned sloping agricultural land in a humid tropical zone of north-east India. A laboratory incubation study was set up to determine the dynamics of microbial biomass, soil respiration and N mineralization rates as influenced by addition of bamboo residues (leaves and scale leaves). Soil nutrients and microbial biomass C, N and P were greater in soils under Bambusa pallida as compared to B. balcooa. Lignin and N concentrations were greater in B. balcooa. Scale leaves had low lignin and N concentrations than the leaf litter. The litter quality, particularly lignin/N, influenced the dynamics of soil mineral-N and, therefore, on the net N mineralization rate. CO2 evolution rate in the soil had a negative relationship with the N mineralization rate, while the microbial N showed weaker correlations with the dynamics of the mineral N. Overall, amendments using the sclerophyllous and slow decomposing foliage did not contribute to the increasing N mineralization in the soils. The study also suggests that soil management practices in bamboo forests should take into account incorporation of residues of good quality, probably of other plant species, failing which, soil quality may deteriorate over a long term that would be critical in productivity and nutrient cycling of secondary bamboo forests regenerating on nutrient-poor, fragile and marginal fallow agricultural lands.

This paper presents the findings of a study involving experimental production of briquettes from chopped rattan strands mixed with cassava starch paste. Samples of rattan strands of mixed species (Laccosperma secundiforum and Eresmopatha macrocarpa) were collected from a furniture workshop in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. The strands, having an average moisture content of 12% and an average dimension of 630 mm (length) by 4.0 mm (width) and 1.8 mm (thickness), were reduced to 25 mm (length) by 4.0 mm (width) and 1.8 mm (thickness) particles by manual shearing. They were subsequently mixed with cassava starch at six proportions by weight, i.e. 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, 250%, and 300%. It was observed that the minimum proportion by weight of cassava starch required for briquette formation was 200%. Compression experiments were performed using a simple tabletop closed - end die piston press fitted with both a pressure and a dial gauge. Four levels of pressure application: 3.5 N/mm2, 7.0 N/mm2, 10 N/mm2 and 14 N/mm2, and two loading duration (dwell times), 3 min and 5 min, respectively were employed. Results obtained showed that the minimum pressure required for briquette formation was 14 MPa. The specific energy required to form the rattan strand briquettes at 200%, 250% and 300% cassava starch content levels was 8 J/t, 9.3 J/t and 11.1 J/t, respectively. A reciprocal relationship between binder content and relaxed density was observed. All the expansion (minimal in all cases) of the briquettes took place within 30 min. It was concluded that stable briquettes could be formed from rattan strands mixed with cassava starch paste.

Morphological and genetic variation of manau rattan (Calamus manan, Miq.) studies have been conducted in three provinces in Sumatra, Indonesia, i.e. in Bengkulu, in Jambi, and in West Sumatra Province. Distinctive variations such as the presence of vestigial flagellum and red colour of rachis, as opposed to no vestigial flagellum and the normal green colour of petiole and rachis, were noted in certain individuals in wild manau rattan populations, although the percentage was only 5-60%, depending on the sites. These variations, which were confirmed with isozyme analysis results, are based on 6 enzyme systems, i.e. PGD, PGI, MDH, IDH, PER and EST out of 10 systems analysed. The range of percentage of polymorphic loci was 66.67-76.67%. The highest genetic diversity (He = 0.34) was West Sumatra Province which was mainly contributed by the Siberut Island, followed by Jambi Province (He = 0.28). Based on a dendogram constructed, the relatedness and genetic distance between studied populations in Sumatra could also be determined.

This study was initiated to determine the wettability of three Honduran bamboo species by contact-angle measurements. Static contact angles of urea formaldehyde (UF), phenol formaldehyde (PF), isocyanate (ISO) and distilled water on the bamboo surfaces were measured. The effects of bamboo species, layer (outer, middle and inner) and chemical treatment (hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide and distilled water) on the contact angle of bamboo surfaces were examined. The results showed that bamboo species had a significant effect on contact-angle values. Regarding the four adhesives, the contact angle of UF was significantly higher. The adhesives displayed the following mean contact-angle pattern: UF > PF > ISO > distilled water. The effect of the bamboo layer was also significant. The outer layer had the highest contact angle, followed by the inner layer and then the middle layer. With regards to the three chemical treatments, NaOH had the highest total mean contact-angle value.
本研究是通过接触角测量来确定三种洪都拉斯竹子的润湿性。测定了脲醛(UF)、酚甲醛(PF)、异氰酸酯(ISO)和蒸馏水在竹材表面的静态接触角。考察了竹材种类、层(外、中、内)和化学处理(盐酸、氢氧化钠和蒸馏水)对竹材表面接触角的影响。结果表明，竹种对接触角值有显著影响。四种胶粘剂中，UF的接触角明显较高。胶粘剂显示如下平均接触角模式:UF > PF > ISO >蒸馏水。竹材层的影响也很显著。接触角最大的是外层，其次是内层，最后是中间层。在三种化学处理中，NaOH的总平均接触角值最高。

Growth and proliferation behaviour of bamboo (Dendrocalamus strictus) seedlings was studied under varying concentrations of different growth regulators, i.e. cycocel, ethrel, GA3 and maleic hydrazide. Fresh and dry biomass were significantly increased with foliar spray of cycocel (100 mg/l), while maleic hydrazide (10 mg/l) was recorded most effective growth retardant. Ethrel (10 mg/l) promoted height of plants but had negative effect on the proliferation parameters. In the case of photosynthetic efficiency (chlorophyll fluorescence) GA3 (100 mg/l) promoted all fluorescence parameters over control except F0 but non-significantly, while cycocel (1000 mg/l) decreased all fluorescence parameters significantly except F0. Cycocel (100 mg/l), ethrel (1 mg/l) and maleic hydrazide (10 mg/l) also had negative effect on some chlorophyll fluorescence parameters.

In recent years bamboo has been rediscovered as an important renewable material with great potential. Industrial bamboo products will also result in alleviating the pressure on forests, as well as creating employment opportunities for rural/tribal poor, particularly women. Considering this, the Government of India has launched an important national initiative for promotion of bamboo products in mission mode. Laminated bamboo boards are closest to wood both in appearance and properties and are generally manufactured from the monopodial bamboo, namely Phyllostachys pubescens. The material is highly suitable for flooring and furniture. Working on a project funded by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, IPIRTI has evolved a process for making bamboo wood (laminates) from a sympodial bamboo found in several states of India, namely Bambusa bambos. Strength properties of bamboo wood are comparable to those of Tectona grandis (teak). A flat-pack table and a wall stand were also designed and fabricated, indicating the suitability of the material for furniture.
