ABSTRACT

The study of propagation procedure of 5 economic potential bamboo species
namely, Pai Bong Yai (Dendrocalamus brandisii), Pai Sang Mon (D. sericeus), Pai Ma Ju (D. latiflorus),

Pai Leing Wan (Bambusa nana) and Pai Kim Sung (B. beecheyana) was carried out to find the

appropriate propagation technique for each bamboo species. Four types of vegetative
propagation technique (culm cutting, branch cutting, air layering and rhizome cutting) with and

without root hormone applied were compared among the 5 species. The result showed that big

size bamboo (Dbh. culm > 5 cm.) such as D. brandisii, D. sericeus, D. latiflorus and B. beecheyana
can be propagated better by air layering technique than other techniques. The medium sized

bamboo (Dbh. culm 2-5 cm.) such as B. nana can be propagated better by rhizome cutting.

There was no difference in survival rate between bamboo propagated with and without root
hormone.
