Bamboo is a member of the grass family Gramineae and the fastest growing woody plant on the earth. India has a rich diversity in bamboo with 23 genera and 130 species. In recent times there has been an emphasis on bamboo cultivation in private lands by National Bamboo Mission, Govt. of India. Farmers in peninsular India are generally reluctant to adopt bamboo in agroforestry practices unlike in North-East India. Though several bamboo species are found in Peninsular India, these are mostly difficult to manage due to excessive branching pattern, distorted shape or thorny habit. The present study was carried out at Lokkur Research Centre (Salem), Forest Genetics Division, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu with five bamboo species viz., Bambusa tulda, Bambusa nutans, Bambusa vulgaris (Green), Bambusa balcooa and Dendrocalamus calastachys to prepare the Volume table and to analyses the yield in terms of volume.
