BAMBOO BEEMA BAMBOO
Bamboo is the fastest growing plant with wide variation in species and product manufacturing. It occurs in many parts of the world as wild.
Beema (or) Bheema Bamboo
BEEMA BAMBOO is a superior clone, selected from Bambusa balcooa, a higher biomass yielding bamboo species. The SRM ‘s production unit for bamboo is situated at Bathalapalli, Hosur. The unit’s location falls under the Krishnagiri District of Tamil Nadu. The unit is guided and led by Dr T Sekar, PhD. There is a production manager to look after working in the house, along with the media supervisor.
Tissue-cultured Beema Bamboo is an identical, homogeneous, free from pest and disease, vigorous and superior clone. It can grow in the field for more than hundred years with no need for replanting. It yields higher biomass if managed by following the silvicultural methods, Irrigation practices and fertiliser requirement schedule as prescribed by SRM Bio Tech.


Special Characters

Special Characters of Beema Bamboo
Beema Bamboo is NOT a product of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO). The clone was developed from Naturally Occurred Half-Sibs which were derived out of Open Pollinated Population. The selected clones were further purified by selective breeding and the Superior Characters are fixed by Asexual Propagation through Micropropagation in a Tissue Culture Lab.
Beema bamboo is sympodial bamboo with the clump-forming rhizome (but the monopodial bamboo is invasive by rhizome) and new culms only grow around the mother shoot. Hence, Beema Bamboo is a non-invasive clumping variety. The species Beema bamboo is sterile because of its aneuploid nature with 2N chromosomal number of 70, instead of regular chromosome numbers of 2n=72. Since the bamboo is sterile, they do not produce any seed and through seed it will not become invasive. Since it is sterile, the bamboo does not die for several hundred years and keeps growing without death. This means the bamboo forms permanent green cover.
Unlike most bamboos, tissue-cultured Beema Bamboo culms grow nearly solid and adapt to various soil and climate conditions. After every harvest cycle, it regrows and does not require replanting for decades.
Beema Bamboo Overview
Bamboo is the fastest growing plant with a wide variation in species and product manufacturing. It occurs in many parts of the world as wild. Research in bamboo and field trials at SRM Bio Tech led to the domestication of bamboo as a valuable crop plant for a wide range of applications starting from energy generation, environmental cleaning, carbon sequestration and product manufacturing.
It is important to choose the right species and adopt best agronomical practice as per the local environmental condition, soil factor, water availability and end use of bamboo. Our experienced team of ours can guide you in this matter.
Its rhizome and root development provide a strong foundation, making the plant robust against natural forces and serves as a simple and cost-effective solution for global warming.
It is one of the best commercial plantations either as a pure crop or mixed crop for the farmers to generate additional income from lands that are not suitable for regular agriculture.
In the last decade, the awareness of bamboo has increased and is opening up opportunity for several large scale industries to use bamboo as a raw material.


Bambusa Balcooa, Tissue cultured
Unlike most bamboos, our tissue cultured Bambusa balcooa culms grow nearly solid - without genetic engineering. It is a tropical variety, preferring a humid environment. Yet it is able to adapt to various soil and climate conditions. Only moderate biological fertilization is required. After every harvest cycle, it regrows and does not require replanting for decades. Its certified high energy value (4500 kcal/kg) and low ash content make it an outstanding biomass feedstock for energy generation.


Also known as Beema Bamboo
Our Bambusa balcooa maintains a fast growth rate, giving the opportunity to constantly yield high and predictable harvest. Nevertheless, it does not grow uncontrolled. It is a non-invasive clumping variety, new culms only grow around the mother shoot. Bambusa balccooa does not affect the natural environment of the plantation as it does not spread autonomously. Its rhizome and root development provides a strong foundation, making the plant robust against natural forces. Increased resistance against pests due to high internal hardness supports predictable and constant harvest yields.
