Tests of Delayed Cultivation of Sympodial Bamboos by Use of Sheughing

Traditionally,bamboo cultivation should be conducted in the spring. after the spring,its planting survival rate becomes very low. Through years of trials,the resuts showed that the sympodial bamboo could be sheughed by delayed cultivation. By using this technique,the planting time of sympodial bamboos could be prolonged for about 4 months in order to avoid drought,save water,keep the earth moisture as well as control the cost and improve the survival rate of afforestation. This technique had reference and application value in afforestation and landscaping.
