| Summary: | Rattans are indigenous spiny climbing palms and are considered to be the most important non-wood forest produce in
Malaysia. In recent years, a tremendous increase in demand for
rattans has outs tripped natural supply consequently initiating
large scale plantings. Al though rattan research in Malaysia
commenced in 1975, knowledge on its silviculture is still
rudimentary. In this study, basic aspects of establishment,
growth performance and ecophysiology of Calamus manan and C.
tumidus, two of the more important indigenous species, will be
elucidated as a basis to silvicultural application. |
