Bambusa vulgaris culms sampled from the riverside of Bentong, Pahang, Malaysia
were found to be suitable in the manufacture of cement bonded boards. The
relatively high sugar content of the culms, however, was found to give a retarding
effect on cement setting. In this study, cement ratio (1:3) was found to give better
board properties. Board with a bamboo – cement ratio of 1 : 2.75 with the addition
of 2% chemical additives produces an acceptable board which meet the requirements
of the Malaysia Standard MS 934.
Bambusa bambos has been successfully planted in India to increase the productivity
of bamboos. To prepare the biomass models for this species, equations were
selected to estimate the green weight of tire whole bamboo culm, weights of the
branches, leaves, and rhizomes. Diameter and height (DH) were found to be closely
correlated with total above ground biomass and therefore selected for tire prediction
of total biomass.
Welcome to the Bangladesh Journal of Forest Science (BJFS) – a leading platform for advancing the knowledge and understanding of forest science in Bangladesh and beyond.
