Growing space requirements of bamboo

ABSTRACT
Intro:
To find out the correct spacing for planting of bamboo in conjunction with agricultural crops a study was laid out in the P.F.l. over an area of 0.3 ha in 1977. One year old tube plants of bamboo were planted at 2 x 2, 3 x 3 and 6x6 m spacing, replicated 3 times using 180, 84 and 24 plants in all the treatments respectively. In the first three years of the study, inter-cropping was done with maize, barseem and wheat. Afterwards it was not possible to do agriculture due to increase in the size of the bamboo clumps except in the 6x6 m spacing where it was continued for one more year.
