Bamboo for outdoor structures: Biodegradation of bamboo
can be retarded by impregnating it with a mixture of
sodium dichromate, copper sulphate and boric acid. Such
bamboo poles can replace steel as a structural element in
outdoor structures like scaffoldings for grapes,
greenhouses, fences, and even water tanks, reducing their
cost by almost 90%. The impregnation kit costs less than
Rs.2,500 and the chemicals cost about Rs.2 per pole. As a
crop too bamboo is very paying, yielding about Rs.5
hundred thousand per hectare every year.
