Resumo
Bamboo has a huge potential for several uses; however,
there are many species with numerous climatic growth
requirements. This makes it difficult to characterize the agroclimatic
bamboo demands, in order to define areas suitable for
its cultivation. This study aimed to quantify the bamboo agroclimatic
requirements, as well as to define areas suitable for
growth in the central-north region of the Brazilian Savannah. The
agro-climatic requirements were defined from averages of the
center of origin of the Bambusa vulgaris species, in southwest
Asia. The climatic characterization was based on the daily
mean, minimum and maximum air temperature, annual rainfall
and water deficit, and consecutive months with a rainfall rate
lower than 40 mm. These limits were used to define suitable,
marginal and unsuitable regions. The optimal range was between
15.14 ºC and 35.33 ºC for mean air temperature, with a lower
limit of 12.07 ºC and a higher limit of 38.83 ºC, respectively, for
minimum and maximum air temperature. The annual minimum
rainfall required was 775 mm, with a maximum annual water
deficit of 1,320 mm, and a maximum of eight consecutive months
with rainfall of less than 40 mm. Most of the studied region
was classified as suitable (74 % of the total area), followed by
marginal due to water deficit (12.9 %), unsuitable (8.9 %) and
marginal due to air temperature (4.2 %).
