Lm. Rodriguez et Mm. Longhi, EFFECT OF AGE AND SHOOT CULM POSITION ON THE VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION OF BAMBUSA-VULGARIS AND GIGANTOCHLOA-APUS, Revista de biologia tropical, 46, 1998, pp. 28-35
Two species of bamboo, Bambusa vulgaris and Gigantochloa apus, were us
ed to evaluate of age and culm bud position on vegetative on. Variable
s: 1.-Size of main shoot of each seed (vegetative reproduction). 2.- N
umber of nudes with shooted buds by parcel. 3.-Number of shoots by par
cel capable of growth after transplantation. 4.-Number of nudes with r
oots. Complete at random with eight factorialy fixed treatments and th
ree repetitions. Age affects the evaluated parameters of Gigantochloa
apus, confirming three years as the best age.
