About this book

Language: English

Bamboo with its multifarious uses from "cradle to coffin" has graduated from a "Poorman’s timber" to ‘green gold‘ in recent times. There has been a renewed interest in growing, cultivating and utilizing bamboo. Out of the 140 odd species of bamboo recorded in India, many species are now seen in farmlands, arboretum and gardens across the country. To kindle people's interest, the Bamboo Society of India (BSI) brought out a simple handbook in 2014 to identify some of the bamboo species. In the second edition, emphasis has been put on grouping the different species according to their utility and also add more species.
