The present investigation entitled “Macro Propagation of long internode Schizostachyumdulloa(Gamble) R.B. Majumdar” waslaid out at Bamboo Nursery, College of Forestry, ASPEE College of Horticulture and Forestry, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari during March-2015 to June-2017.Three year old bamboo culms of Schizostachyumdulloa(Gamble) R.B. Majumdarwas selected for investigation. Three noded bamboo culm cuttings were sterilized with the fungicideafter that administered with different concentration of Plant Growth Regulators (auxins). The results revealed the highest percentage of cuttings sprouted (66.67%), percentage of cuttings rooted (63.58%), number of leaves per plant (29.17), number of roots (12.11), length of root (21.50cm), days taken for initiation for first sprouting (20.73 days), length of sprouts (70.37cm) and percentage of plants survived after transplanting (62.35%) were recorded in combination of high concentration of NAA and low concentration of IBA i.e.treatment T5 - NAA-500 ppm + IBA-200 ppm. Hence, it can be concluded that the T5 - NAA-500 ppm + IBA-200 ppmcan be used for large scale production along with higher rate of survival of long internode bamboo S. dulloadue to its high demand in kite industry, flute making industry and other handicrafts.
