Thank you Mr. Lakshmana for sharing your insight for improving the "gene pool" for these various Bamboo's.. Frankly I had never thought of it in this way:: Not that "I" do any such research, but making others aware, of HOW they might use their research, can be quite valuable in the long term.. ..
As your moderator of B_P, I have followed these various threads for MANY years, and I don't believe I have ever seen this sort of suggestion before..
Peace and blessings to all Kinder in Texas, USA

You can make use of this opportunity to mark some late flowering clumps who have higher biomass production. Higher biomass means bigger length, girth, more weight.The seeds from such clumps may be distributed to some selected growers, research institutes, etc. by doing this you will be helping location and multiplication of champion clumps with a longer gestation period. This is a very important work and I am delighted that you have an opportunity to select the best from nature- who is a genitist of eminence. < /div>Wishing you all the best.A. C. Lakshmana
