SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTIVITY
P. Shanmughavel1
Over-exploitation and shrinkage of their natural habitat is depleting the bamboo resources at
an alarming rate. Sustained availability can be ensured only by plantations. This paper describes
the results from a trial plantation of Bambusa
bambos. This proved to be an ideal species for
large-scale plantations. Productivity, pulp characteristics and economic aspects are discussed.
Keywords: Natural bamboo, depletion, sustained availability, plantation bamboo.
