Bamboo Biomass

It is a well established fact that bamboo grows very fast in a span of just 3-4 years. But how much of a biomass is  acquired by each specie over the years is a grey area.

Following is an outcome of a short study by Maharashtra Bamboo Development Board for the estimation of bamboo biomass from various species in 5th year. 

It may be noted that the yield and weight has been calculated on Green Metric Ton. As per the agro-climatic zone for the particular species, the yield may vary if the standard operating procedure of drip irrigation, fertigation and other practices aren't followed. The dry weight would be 60% of the wet bamboo.
