Aminuddin Mohamad, . (1985) Performances of some rattan species in growth trials in Peninsular Malaysia. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
The Forest Research Institute Kepong Malaysia began in 1975 a rattan research programme by establishing growth trial plots of rattan species such as Calamus caesius 7.6 ha C. scipionum 3.21 ha C. trachycoleus Forest Reserve Selangor Malaysia. All the plots were monitored and the growth performances of all the species mentioned were documented. The various factors affecting the growth rates of these rattans were discussed. C. caesius was observed to grow as much as 5-6 m/year at near-optimum conditions canopy thinned and poorly drained soil. C. scipionum requires open conditions to give greater cane lengths whereas C. manan required adequate light for optimal growth. The growth rates of C. trachycoleus were comparable to that of C. caesius
