Bamboo shoots being low in fat, high in dietary fiber and rich in mineral contents have been consumed traditionally by the people world over. Besides nutrients it also contains some anti-nutrients e.g. cyanogens. Due to seasonal availability of bamboo shoots, processing for reducing anti-nutrients in raw shoots while keeping nutrients intact and enhancement of shelf life of the value added products assume great significance for its utilization. This paper focuses on post harvest processing and value addition of bamboo shoots for its utilization as food products. Juvenile bamboo shoots of Bambusa bambos, B. tulda, Dendrocalamus asper and D. strictus were collected and processed, by boiling in brine solution, to remove the anti-nutrients (cyanogen). A simple, efficient and cost effective processing method for bamboo shoots was developed. This method significantly reduces the amount of cyanogens and retains considerable amount of nutrients and thus may be utilized for processing of bamboo shoots. Different value added edible products viz. chunks or bari (by adding pulses), pickle, sauce and papad (by adding potato) were prepared. All products were good in taste and texture. Nutritional analysis was done to determine the shelf life of the products. The nutrient content of processed products (chunks, sauce, pickle and papad) showed a gradual decrease and need to be consumed within 6 months from the date of making. However, in case of papad the carbohydrate content did not decrease much but the taste was not acceptable after 8 months. Whereas, in case of pickles, even nutrient content decreased but the product was acceptable even after two years after preparation as it was good in taste and texture. Thus, processing and value addition practices can be considered as key to the future of sustainable management of bamboo resources because they not only provide quality edible products but also enable harvesters/collectors to get better income opportunities.

The present study aims to evaluate the nutritional and anti-nutritional levels in ten bamboo species comprising industrially important as well as ornamental types grown in Kerala to judge their potential as a sustainable food source. The species evaluated include Bambusa balcooa Roxb., Bambusa bambos (L.) Voss, Bambusa vulgaris Schrad. (green and yellow), Bambusa wamin E.G.Camus (Budha bamboo), Cephalostachyum pergracile Munro, Dendrocalamus giganteus Munro, Dendrocalamus strictus (Roxb.) Nees, Gigantochloa atroviolacea Widjaja (Black bamboo) and Gigantochloa manggong Widjaja. Key nutritional parameters like moisture, ash, carbohydrate, protein, fat, fiber, vitamin C and total cyanogen content (TCC) were analyzed. D.strictus and two ornamental species - B. vulgaris and G. atroviolacea -were found to be rich in protein, fiber and vitamin C which could be used as a good food source in terms of nutrition. In these species emerging shoots 14 days after emergence recorded maximum outturn (74%) and minimum wastage. The distribution of total cyanogen content (TCC) was found to vary within shoots itself. Among species studied, the highest content was found in the apex region and lowest at the basal portion of the fresh shoots. Appropriate selection of species and judicious harvest of emerging shoots at correct age can maximize outturn of edible portion in harvested shoots and help cultivators in making it a commercial venture.

Plant tissue culture offers the potential for rapidly increasing selected bamboo clones for conservation and reforestation. Bud break is important for the successful micro propagation in bamboo. An organogenesis optimization protocol is described for Dendrocalamus asper. Nodal explants containing auxiliary buds from 8-10 years old field grown clumps of D. asper were established in Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium supplemented with different concentrations of phytohormone 6-benzyelamino purine (BAP) and kinetin. The maximum bud breaking was observed in 6 ppm BAP concentration. Shoot proliferation was found maximum in MS media supplemented with combinations of BAP and kinetin (4.0 ppm BAP, 0.5 ppm kinetin and 4.0 ppm BAP, 1.0 ppm kinetin) after subcultureing the explants.

Majority of the bamboo production in Northern India is accounted from forests where productivity is very low. Efforts are therefore required for enhancing the productivity of bamboos by undertaking organized cultivation outside the forest areas. The present study was undertaken for screening eight different bamboo species viz. Bambusa balcooa, B. bambos, B. nutans, B. tulda, B. vulgaris, Dendrocalamus asper, D. hamiltonii, D. strictus in terms of growth behaviour, biomass production, carbon storage potential and soil health. After six years of plantation, maximum clump height (10.67 m) and clump girth (5.93 m) was observed for B. nutans whereas minimum clump height and girth was observed for D. asper. Highest culm diameter was observed in B. vulgaris (6.23 cm). Total above ground biomass and carbon stock were maximum for D. hamiltonii (144.5 t ha-1 and 64.63 t ha-1 respectively) whereas minimum above ground biomass (14.34 t ha-1) and carbon stock (6.39 t ha-1) were accumulated by D. asper. D. hamiltonii was found to mitigate highest 237.2 t ha-1 CO2. Oxygen released from different species ranged from 17.1-172.6 t ha–1 during the six year of study. Soil health was significantly improved under all the bamboo species as compared to control. Among all bamboo species, D. hamiltonii was better species for its effect on soil health.
印度北部的大部分竹子生产来自生产力非常低的森林。因此，需要努力通过在林区以外进行有组织的种植来提高竹子的生产力。本文从生长习性、生物量产量、碳储存潜力和土壤健康等方面对8种不同竹种(balbusa balcoa, B. bambos, B. nutans, B. tulda, B. vulgaris, Dendrocalamus asper, D. hamiltonii, D. strictus)进行了筛选。人工林6年后，白杨的丛高和丛围最高，分别为10.67 m和5.93 m，白杨的丛高和丛围最低。茎粗最大的品种为白杨(B. vulgaris)，为6.23 cm。地上总生物量和碳储量以哈密顿草最大(分别为144.5 t ha-1和64.63 t ha-1)，而地上生物量和碳储量最小(14.34 t ha-1)和碳储量最小(6.39 t ha-1)。hamiltonii对237.2 t ha-1 CO2的缓解效果最高。在6年的研究中，不同树种的氧释放量在17.1 ~ 172.6 t ha-1之间。与对照相比，各竹种土壤健康状况均有显著改善。在所有竹种中，哈密顿竹对土壤健康的影响较好。

Conventional bamboo cultivation practices advocates planting bamboo in cleared open areas. However, farmers in the south Konkan region of Western Ghats are traditionally cultivating bamboo in association with native trees. Various positive effects of native trees on the growth and development of individual culm, and a clump in general are reported as perceived by farmers. In addition to bamboo, farmers are getting multiple benefits derived from the preserved tree components. By considering bamboo as a main crop, I briefly reviewed various actual and possible interactions based on central biophysical hypothesis of agroforestry. Productivity of bamboo-tree agroforestry system as a whole is a function of multiple interfaces e.g. competition, mutualism, commensalism, association etc. and the mechanisms could be - various above and below-ground interactions, nutrient pumping, hydraulic lift, litter-fall and decomposition, nutrient cycling, microbial interactions, mycorrhizae association etc. and probably many others. Economic and ecosystem importance and the aspects of functional ecology in general are discussed. Importance of native trees and diversification of income sources to adopt various market and climate driven forces than monoculture farming are highlighted.

The present investigation was carried out in low and mid hill conditions of Himachal Pradesh which represent the wet sub-temperate zone, humid sub-temperate zone, humid sub-tropical zone, and sub-humid tropical zones of the state. A detailed survey of the bamboo growing areas of Himachal Pradesh was carried out and then the study area was divided into four altitudinal ranges. Composite soil samples were collected from bamboo groves at each site from 0-30 cm (L1) and 30-60 cm (L2) soil depth for analyzing physice-chemical properties of soil. It is concluded that bamboo has the potential to rehabilitate the degraded lands by improving the physical and chemical properties of soil within a short period.
