Are pesticides and or fertilizers used on the bamboo crops?
Since bamboo is a grass, the use of pesticides and fertilizers is not needed. Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth and has few insect issues, none of which affect the quality of the stalk. Ask your bamboo floor wholesale supplier if pesticides or fertilizers are used to grow their bamboo. Pesticides filter into the groundwater, affecting not only the drinking supply but the food crops of people in the area. They can affect people’s health and lead to birth defects.
