High-efficiency Cultivation Techniques for Bamboo Shoots of Phyllostachys edulis in Four Seasons

A long-term study was conducted from 2008 to 2018 to explore the high-efficiency cultivation techniques for bamboo shoots of Phyllostachys edulis, in which 12 experimental sites with an area of 2.584 hectares were set up in Keqiao District, Shangyu District and Zhuji City of Shaoxing. Based on the experiment, a set of techniques was developed to produce the bamboo shoots mainly in winter, harvest bamboo shoots also in early spring and midspring, and dig rhizome shoots in summer. The good and poor year management mode was changed into equilibrium years, producing bamboo shoots continuously in the four seasons, and steadily in every year. The above mentioned high-efficiency cultivation techniques of bamboo shoots were summarized and applied to 800 hectares bamboo forests, remarkable benefits have been achieved. The output of bamboo shoots has been increased, agricultural output has been increased, and farmers' income has been improved.
