Abstract

India is home to a colossal band of bamboos resources. Bamboo is an important genetic resource provide lively hood for millions of people around globe. Due to increasing populations pressure, industrial demand, indiscriminate cutting resulted in the overexploitation, burning cultivation which is common practice in North East States of India has been resulted in the genetic erosion of several bamboo species. This has driven the attention of various organizations for this ecological, economic and social resource. An amalgamated approach to collect characterize and conserve bamboo has been put forward in Central Forest Nursery Wadali Amravati. This collective approach has bought together a number of bamboo species from different area of country. Fifty two species representing thirteen genus are present in the forest nursery. A master characterization manual has been prepared according which all the species have been fully characterized. These species presents a variation among the bamboo at species as well as at generic level. This germplasm may act as a soul resource for further development, research and sustainable management of bamboo resource in this particular area.
