India is one of the richest countries in Bamboo population covering 12.8% of the total forest land of the country. However, the yield per hectare is dismally low due to poor management, unscientific exploitation and low investment in raising preferred bamboo species. Very little attention has been paid until now to the management of natural bamboo stands and to ensure sustained supply of this raw material that result in constraining and reducing the potential benefits and value of bamboo applications. The current demand of bamboo for various purposes is estimated at 26.69 million tonnes as against the supply of 13.47 million tonnes. The average per hectare annual productivity of bamboo in India is about 1 MT/ha which is much less than the world's average. Low per hectare yield indicates poor management of existing bamboo plantations in forest and non-forest areas. It has been shown in case of some species that intensive cultural operations and scientific management of bamboo plantations can produce much higher yield. Establishment and management aspects of bamboo plantation for enhanced productivity are discussed in the paper.Keywords

Thirty-two Bambusa tulda plus clumps were selected using the selection index method and assembled at the germplasm bank of Rain Forest Research Institute, Jorhat. The plus clumps were from different geographical regions of Assam and Meghalaya. Growth study of selected plus clumps in the germplasm bank revealed significant differences among genotypes (at P<0.05 level) for all the parameters height, dbh, and age. The Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) grouped the plus clumps into 15 groups on the basis of height and the plus clump RFRI/BT/511 from Madhavpur of Jorhat district was found to be the best performer (l3.35m), while the plus clump RFRI/BT/502 from Sonapur of Kamrup district was found to be the least best performer. Further, the Duncan Multiple Range Test grouped the plus clumps into 12 groups on the basis of the dbh, with the plus clump RFRI/BT/509 from Balijan, Titabor of Jorhat district (95.32 mm) as the top performer and the plus clump RFRI/BT/502 from Sonapur of Kamrup district as the least best performer. Correlation study showed positive correlation between height and dbh and height was negatively correlated with that of age. A multiple regression model for prediction of height using dbh and age was established.- Glycosmis cymosa VAR. Simplicifolia (Kurz) Narayan -An Addition to the Flora of Garo Hills, Meghalaya
