Dear Johnek
There are many possibilities. Depends on the destination of the bamboo. If it ismfor paper or pulp, better cut with 2 yrs old culms to boiler it and have soft fibers with water. If it is for biomass cut with 3 or 4 yrs culms, zero cut or selected, because comes more dry and mature fibers, will burns better, maybe 30% more kcal/kg. If it is for structural culms, more than 4 less than 7 yrs. This here is nothing new, but is happeneing in Brazil. For zero cut, fellers and others machines.
All best rgds

Thanks you,
Probably the group, as I am, very interested to know your harvesting and clump management strategy in a plantation. I assume you do not clear cut. So do you practice age marking. The topography also influence you machineries, how are the harvested culm transported.. I am more incline to think for collective rural small holders plantations for livelihood development.
Johnek.

Dear Johnek
It's a agriculture plantation. The harvesting
sistem was with 15 people. After they used many diferents
forestry machines. Now they are testing i think two or three
diferent ones. I do not know the real names. One part of the
plantation, is use for biomass in heating sistems and
boilers sistems.

Dear Robert
We are from Brazilian Bamboo Producers Association. The
biggest private bamboo plantation is located in Brazil,
more
than 40.000 hectares. In Pernambuco state and Maranhao
State. They use it for paper. I can give you more
information, if you need.

What's to keep bamboo from becoming a "highly
subsidized vested interest" ?
Just wondering, not trying to be contentious !
Thanks

Interesting article.
We need more research about other superior attributes
that can make bamboo and rattan more widely respected as
a
viable alternative to the highly subsidized
corn-cotton-timber vested interests..They killed it here
in
the USA, but proper education and promotion could bring
the
research back.
Does anyone know where the biggest private bamboo
plantation in the world is? I would like to see
that.
Interest in this group seems to have gone down, but
tough times are just the right time to get prepared for
the
"bamboo revolution" that could propel
sustainable
alternatives based upon biomass to market dominance.
