[2] It is native to Asia but has spread widely with the trade of infested bamboo wood and bamboo products. [3]
Rhizoctonia solani root rot on corn roots, magnified 0.63X. Damping off can be prevented or controlled in several different ways. Sowing seeds in a sterilized growing medium can be effective, although fungal spores may still be introduced to the medium, either on the seeds themselves or after sowing (in water or on the wind).
The spread of alternative materials to make different tools and objects has led to some regional bamboo forests to be mismanaged and left in poor states. [6] The expansion of these neglected bamboo forests puts pressure on other plants by reducing the biodiversity in many of these regions and can also lead to natural disasters having bigger ...
There are two basic types of bamboo; clumping (non-invasive) and running. Individual bamboo canes are called culms or stems. The clump type, in which category Fargesia murielae falls, grows in large clumps and is relatively slow in spreading. The root system of a single clump can be rather extensive and quite competitive with surrounding plants.

Dendrocalamus asper, also known as giant bamboo or dragon bamboo (in China), is a giant, tropical, clumping species of bamboo native to Southeast Asia.In addition to its prolific nature across Asia, the plant's overall attractive appearance (and ease of care) has seen this species introduced widely across South America and Africa (namely Kenya, Malawi and Ghana), as well as Mexico and Florida.

The plant only flowers every few decades, and usually dies after flowering; additionally, seeds are often not viable.
