Single noded cuttings of bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris L.) measuring 15 cm, pretreated with bavistin 0.1% for 15 minutes were horizontally planted in polybags for vegetative propagation. Induction of shoots and roots were observed followed by initiation of zero order branches (the main axis). Growth of vegetatively grown plantlets was very fast than conventional seedlings raised from seed of fast growing Dendrocalamus strictus bamboo.
