Evaluation of and soil interaction in three study sites in Malaysia.

Understanding the productivity and physiological status of an organ (rhizome) function can lead into a sustainable production of sympodial bamboo. Nutrient elements and ash content (AC) are among the indicators to indicate the productivity and physiological status of an individual bamboo organ. The present study aimed to (a) determine the concentration of macronutrient elements of 's rhizomes at four different ages collected at three study sites, and (b) investigate their relationship with AC.
