Abstract: This paper deals with four treatments used for turning bamboo grove from off and on year into even year which include strong shoot -thinning, isolating rhizomes to bamboo individuals and changing felling time, retaining shoots during "off" year. The experiment lasting three "on" year and three "off year from 1985 to 1990 showed that there was the best effect in the treatment for the strong shoot-thinning during the on-year spring on inducement of bamboos in off-year and promoting the speed of transforming bamboo stand; there was an obvious inducement effect in the treatment of isolating rhizomes in last one off-year; and the effect of the combined treatment of strong shoot-thinning and isolating rhizomes into bamboo individuals was better than that of either of them; while there was no signifficant difference between the treatment of changing felling time and the check.
