Early field growth performance of ten selected bamboo taxa: the case study of Sabal bamboo pilot project in Sarawak, Malaysia
Information on early growth performance and survival rate of bamboos are pivotal for the development of the Sarawak bamboo industry. Thus, a study on the early growth performance of ten bamboo taxa was conducted at the Sarawak Bamboo Pilot Project site in Sabal, Simunjan, Sarawak, Malaysia. Six taxa...
