Bambusa tulda (Bengal bamboo) is a medium sized bamboo grown mainly in homesteads of North-East India and Bengal. It was introduced from Assam in 1985 to the Bambuseta at Kerala Forest Research Institute. Its flowering was observed in two locations, Nilambur, Malappuram and Velupadam, Thrissur during 2003. The present investigation reports the flowering, post-flowering behaviour, seed characteristics, seedling production and influence of growth regulators on seed germination and macro-proliferation of B. tulda. Field performance of the species for three years in a homestead in Palakkad district is also reported. Synchronous flowering with profuse seed production and death of flowered clumps after seed set was found in this species. Seeds showed an initial germination of 64.5%. The seedling exhibited 3-5 times tillering capacity and the macroproliferation was successful. Treatment with growth regulators such as GA and NAA enhanced the germination percentage and IBA and NAA enhanced the vigour of proliferated seedlings by enhancing the number and length of roots/shoots. The outplanted seedlings produced 13,508 culms/ha and reached a height of about 4 m within a period of three years.
