This research compared physical and mechanical properties of Dendrocalamus giganteus from bamboo plantation and bamboo forest in Long district, Phrae province, Thailand. The experiment was a completely randomized design with 6 treatments involving 2 zones (Bamboo Plantation and Bamboo Forest) and three parts of bamboo (Top, middle and bottom), with five replicates of each for a total of 30 conditions. The optimal conditions for the physical and mechanical properties of Dendrocalamus giganteus were observed in the treatment with the Bamboo Plantation zone at the top part of the bamboo. These differences were all significant (p < 0.05). The results suggest that the top part of the bamboo is influenced by vascular bundles, which are denser in this region compared to the bottom part. Furthermore, bamboo plantations managed through silviculture with sustainable practices can significantly enhance the properties of bamboo.
