Early performance trial of four Malaysian commercial bamboos in Shouthern Peninsular Malaysia

Bamboo has been recognized as the second importance non-timber forest produced by Malaysian Government. It can be a good substitute for timber in producing high value added products. In realizing the importance of this plant, the raw materials need to be exploited and tried on the suitability of pla...
