Abstract

Bamboo is one of the important non-timber products which are predominantly propagated in Nusa Tenggara. Besides its high potency to propagate, the ultimate considerations of propagating bamboos are because they are easy to cultivate, give high yield, have straight stem, and are relatively cheap. One of bamboo species found in West Nusa Tenggara is galah bamboo (Gigantochloa atter (Hassk.) Kurz ex Munro) which is suitable for light construction material, furniture, and craft. However, the bamboo is prone to insect and fungi attack. Thus, to increase its durability, treatments should be applied. The treatment was a cold immersion method. The objective of this study was to identify the absorption capacity of the G. atter, theoretical and actual retentions, and the impacts of immersion time to the bamboo durability. An experimental method was employed in this study. The experiment design was a complete random design with two treatments of immersion time, 3 days (A1) and 5 days (A2). The results showed that the immersion times did not significantly affect the absorption capacity of the bamboo and the theoretical and actual retention. The study found that the absorption capacity of G. atter was 0.49-1.25 g/cm3, the theoretical retention was 0.05 – 0.08 g/cm3, and the actual retention was -0.007 – 0.001 g/cm3.
