Effect of growth parameters on fibre traits of Ochlandra wightii (Munro) C.E.C. Fisch.: Variation with age of culms, height of culms and wall layers of culms
2025
Nisha S.A. | Santhoshkumar R.
In the present study the effects of various parameters, including age of the culm, different heights of the culm and positions across the culm wall on the fibre characteristics of Ochlandra wightii were examined. The variation in fibre length, fibre width, lumen diameter and fibre wall thickness were recorded. Biometric properties such as the Runkel ratio, slenderness ratio, flexibility ratio and shape factor were analysed. Younger bamboo culms (below 1 year to 1–3 years) are better suited for pulp and paper production because of their desirable fibre qualities. The fibres of mature bamboo (more than 3 years) were less pliable, thicker and stiffer, reducing their suitability for use in papermaking.
