Title:

A note on culm yield and above ground biomass of Gigantochloa levis raised by tissue culture and branch cuttings planting materials

Authors:Razak Othman, A

Abstract:A preliminary assessment to compare the culm and above ground mass productivity of Gigantochloa levis planiting trial using tissue culture and branch cutting plantlets was conducted. Assessment of growth performance was based on the culm composition and above-ground biomass production.the results indicate that for the first four years after planting, brach cuttings grow vigorously compared to tissue culture plantlets.However, after 5 years there is no significat different in culm size between tissue culture and branch cutting plantlets.

Keywords:Tissue culture; branch cuttings planting.
