MENSURATIONAL STUDIES IN <em>MELOCANNA</em> <em>BACCIFERA</em>

Abstract

Mensurational attributes of Melocanna baccifera culms were studied from five different locations in the state of Mizoram, India. Attributes such as culm height, internode length, internode diameter, culm wall thickness and number of  nodes per culm were measured. Regression models were developed for internode length, internode diameter, culm wall thickness, culm height and culm volurrie. Results were found to be significant.
