Key Technology of High-Yield Cultivation of Indocalamus Bamboo for"Zong"Leaf
The leaves of Indocalamus are the commonly used materials for rice dumplings called Zongzi,i.e.,"Zong"leaves.In recent years,the market demand for the leaves has increased rapidly,which has triggered the significantly growing Indocalamus plantation area.However,the problems facing the plantation,such as poor afforestation quality,low yield of high-quality leaves and frequent occurrence of diseases and pests have restrained the sustainable development of the"Zong"leaves industry.The paper systematically reviews the key technology used for high-yield cultivation of Indocalamus in terms of afforestation,tending and management,in order to provide a technical support for the large-scale cultivation and quality improvement of Indocalamus bamboo resources.
