Abstract
After gregarious flowering, the natural regeneration of Dendrocalamus strictus (Roxb.) Nees forms carpet on forest floor and remained in whippy stage for several decades in face of severe biotic factors. The present paper deals with the impact of different treatments of fire and grazing closures for rehabilitation of natural regeneration. The treatments were given after formation of bamboo elites. The findings revealed that lit of fire in the month of May proved better in terms of culms growth and clump formation, followed by fire in the month of March. Two fire in a year i.e., fire in March and May, showed detrimental effect on culms growth and clump formation. Similarly, in the experiment of different periods of grazing closures, complete closure for five years proved significantly effective to stimulate growth of bamboo seedlings. This was followed by six months grazing closure (from July to December), and three months (July to Sept.) grazing closure in a year.
