Bambusa vulgaris was multiplied by burying whole culms during 2014 and 2015 at the Research Farm of ICAR-Central Agroforestry Research Institute, Jhansi. Two-year-old bamboo culms produced higher number (165) of shoots than 1-year (114) and 3-year-old culms (57). The culm planting method resulted in prolific ischolar_maining pattern during monsoon season, and on an average 5.7 ischolar_mained plants were obtained from every alternate node. Rooted sprouts were separated from each productive node along with fibrous ischolar_mains attached to it and were planted in polythene bags as new plantlets. This method of planting was found impressive for developing live bamboo fence and producing a large number of plants from scarce planting material. This technique promises a large number of planting material and readily acceptable technology to the farmers.
