Average Yield under good Management Practice

YEARS	YIELD Tons / acre/ year	YIELD Tons / Ha/ year
3	25 to 30	62.5 to 75
4	40 to 50	100 to 125
5	50 and above continuously for over 100 yrs	125 and above continuously for over 100 yrs

Note : Under better climatic conditions and proper management.

The above-mentioned performance of Beema Bamboo is under well-managed field conditions with adequate irrigation and fertilizer application. The yield may tend to increase or decrease according to site and climatic conditions, timely and proper fertilizer application and irrigation system. Our studies in the field show that a well managed Beema Bamboo plantations under high-density plantation yields more than the expected returns.
