“…Unfortunately, the lowest survival rate was obtained from Guadua amplexofolia and Dendrocalamus asper with a 43.5 % and 45 % survival rate respectively (Figure . 3). In line with the study, Bambusa vulgaris grew by 86 % at the Sabal Forest Reserve, Simunjan, Sarawak, Malaysia, between November 2019 and February 2021 (Hassan et al, 2022). The result for Bambusa bambos is in agreement with Kibwage et al, (2008) account for 94%.…”

Aim of study: The study was performed to evaluate the growth performance and adaptation potential of different exotic lowland bamboos, as well as identifying and providing the best-performing species. Area of study: The study was conducted in Agbe, Tanqua Melashe district Central Tigray between June 2018 and December 2021. Material and methods: The study focused on six different exotic lowland bamboo species, which are Dendrocalamus hamiltonii, Dendrocalamus asper, Dendrocalamus membranaceos, Bambusa vulgaris, Bambusa bambos, and Guadua amplexifolia. The experiment was designed as a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. An analysis of variance was used to analyze the collected data. Main results: The selected bamboo species somehow had problems with survival and adaptability except for Bambusa bambos, Bambusa vulgaris, Dendrocalamus membranaceos, and Dendrocalamus hamiltonii species. Between species’ parameters, such as root collar diameter, culm diameter, culm height, and number of culms, the outcome had a significant difference at (p

“…The plant's robust system, species, and place of origin were among the internal variables. External factors included the type of fertilizer used, the slashing techniques, and other maintenance programs for the plantations (Mohd Hassan et al, 2022). According to our research, all species' early culm growth largely fell within the expected range of results.…”

“…It can be inferred that this potential species might be suggested for planting in Sarawak, Malaysia, for larger-scale activities geared toward the development of the bamboo industry. B. balcooa had the largest mean growth increment in diameter (1.84 cm year -1 ) and height (4.35 m year -1 ) according to a recent study by Mohd Hassan et al (2022) at Sabal Forest Reserve, Sarawak, Malaysia. According to a study by Azmy et al (2009) in Bukit Saga, Johor, Malaysia, it was found that the height of two species of bamboo namely B. vulgaris and Gigantochloa 'Brang', tends to be higher than the other two species, D. asper and G. levis.…”

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.

“…However, betung bamboo generally has slower growth than other types of bamboo, one of which is slow root development (Kaushal et al, 2020). The diameter growth of -1 betung bamboo is in the range of 0.050.38 cm month (Hassan et al, 2022). Environmental factors influence the growth of betung bamboo in terms of both morphology and stem quality.…”

One of the main species in community forests is betung bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper). Optimizing land use under bamboo can be achieved by cultivating food crops. This research aimed to determine the growth of betung bamboo and the production of food crops. The experimental design used a split plot design with four cultivation patterns as the main plots: agroforestry bamboo pattern i.e. agroforestry bamboo + rice (P1), agroforestry bamboo + rice + cassava (P2), agroforestry bamboo + rice + taro (P3), and mixed food crops (rice + cassava + taro) (P4), while the subplots were rice varieties: rindang 2 (V1), protani (V2), and unsoed (V3). The observed parameters were bamboo growth, soil fertility, and food crop production. The results showed that seven-year-old betung bamboo had an average of 6.01 mature stems per clump, an average plant height of 7.23 m, and a stem diameter of 7.12 cm. The numbers of young stems and shoots per clump was 1.45 and 3.71. The highest betung bamboo growth was in the agroforestry pattern (length: 8,49 m, diameter: 7.17 cm, thickness: 1.95, total weight: 21.31 kg). The highest rice yield was observed in the P2V1 treatment (4.17 kg). The highest cassava tuber yield per plant was observed in P4 (2.12 kg). The taro tuber yield was relatively higher in the agroforestry pattern with a distance of >1 m from the bamboo clump (0.52 kg plant-1). The land equivalent ratio (LER) and area time equivalent ratio (ATER) of bamboo and food crop agroforestry have a value above 1, so it is more efficient in land.
