Animals that eat Bengal bamboo include elephants, deer, and certain species of rodents like porcupines. These animals feed on the leaves, shoots, and bark of the bamboo plant for nutrition.
Bengal bamboo is primarily affected by various insects, including bamboo borers like the Pseudocereopsius and some species of grasshoppers. Additionally, pests such as aphids and caterpillars may feed on the leaves and shoots, causing damage. Fungal infestations can also occur, exacerbated by insect activity. Managing these pests is crucial for maintaining the health of Bengal bamboo.
