Abstract

Trade in rattan has been on the increase in recent times and this increase has been accompanied by a depletion of the resource that is obtained entirely from the wild except for two cane species from plantations in Indonesia Borneo. Silvicultural trials are now in progress in some rattan producing countries to obtain information necessary for establishing future large-scale plantings. At the same time observations on and investigations into the biology and ecology of some rattan species have been and are being carried out. In this paper these biological and ecological parameters are examined in relation to of rattan silviculture and covered present knowledge pertaining to flowering and fruiting seed harvest from future seed stands sites for planting spacings of such plantings water and light requirements for growth growth rates and variations and the clustering habit in normally solitary species.
