本研究以節間長度、稈徑、稈厚及稈壁率等稈形因子來評估石竹、方竹、梨果竹 、長技竹與桂竹之工藝利用價用。試驗結果得知長枝竹之稈形最優,石竹與梨果竹居次,桂 竹與方竹之稈形較差,利用上應視用途依評估因子而選擇竹種。
Five bamboo species, Phyllostachys lithophila (PL), P.makinoi (PM), Chimonbambusa quadrangularis (CQ), Melocanna baccifera (MB), and Bambusa dolichoclada (BD) were selected as experimental material, and their industrial utilization values were evaluated by means of some culm form factors, including internode length, culm diameter, culm wall thickness and culm wall fraction. The results revealed that the quality of culm form, from the highest to lowest, was BD>PL and MB>PM and CQ. Culm form evaluation factors should be respectively considered depending on the type of utilization.
