Harvesting trials were conducted in the plantation Bambusa bambos stand at Kallipatty, Tamil Nadu using the completely randomized design with eight treatments which varied in the intensity of harvesting in each clump. The production of bamboos was measured. The result indicated that clear cutting killed the bamboo plants, but selection cutting of those culms older than three years increased their production.
