Abstract
Bamboo is a unique and versatile material used for variety of purposes. But, it has certain drawbacks like its easy susceptibility to biodegradation and low natural durability. Therefore, special treatments (chemical /non-chemical) are required before using this biomass. The rural people of Assam are not aware to use this valuable gift in a protected and prevented manner and only use some non chemical i.e. traditional method of preservation to protect bamboo from biodegradation. These methods are very popular among the rural masses because, these can be carried out without any special equipments and technical knowhow. This paper describes some traditional methods of bamboo preservation which are still practiced in rural Assam to protect bamboo from bio degradation.
