Domestication Experiment on Phyllostachys vivax cv. Huangwenzhu

Wild Phyllostachys vivax cv. huangwenzhu was introduced from Quzhou to Lishui, Zhejiang province, in 2013 for Domestication test. The result demonstrated that shooting regularity was skewed normal distribution from the end of March to the end of June. Bamboo/shoot rate topped 94.02%, with degraded bamboo of 5.98%. Degradation of shoot occurred under 40cm, mainly during 10-30cm. Height growth of shoot-young bamboo had 3 stages, and night increment was 1.17 time of daily one, but reversed by the end of growth stage. The experiment resulted that Ph. vivax cv. huangwenzhu had advantages of drought resistance, high conservation rate and fast formation of stand.
