Bebija L. Singha, Yamin Hassan
Abstract: Bambusa tulda is one the most important bamboo species of northeast India. It is commonly used by rural people in basketary, fencing, housing, furniture, mats, poles and post musical instruments, weaving material, scaffolding, paper and pulp etc. Mature bamboos are usually harvested during off season. However, there is little information available on the correlation between time of harvesting and the nutrient status of bamboo. This paper describes the optimum harvesting season of Bambusa tulda for sustainable management. The result revealed that the optimum harvesting period was from October to January.
