Setting up 100 hectare demonstration plot in Himachal Pradesh and production of elite planting material of Dendrocalamus hamiltonii (Funding Agency: DBT, New Delhi).

Principal Investigator: Dr. Rajesh Sharma
Duration: 2005-2010

Achievement:
• The survival percentage of Tissue Culture plants was found to be 80 per cent whereas those of Stem Cutting raised plants was up to 95 per cent. The comparative assessment of SC and TC plants in these experimental plots with fertilizer treatments though reveals better performance of SC plants, the TC plants are expected to produce better results at later stage.
