A field experiment was conducted for 4 years on patipata to find out the
relationship between planting spacing and yield potential. Three different propagules
viz. rhizome, branch cutting and rooted branch cutting were used as propagating
prologules. Production of average number of harvestable culms ranged from 506 to 560
plot’1 of 18 m2 area maintained in five different spacing on a four-year harvesting cycle
