The invention relates to a drought-resisting afforestation method by means of phyllostachys bambusoides bamboo species and belongs to the field of bamboo afforestation. The method comprises the steps of selecting bamboo species; selecting provenance and mother bamboo; selecting appropriate seasons which are March, April and early and middle June; digging and conveying the mother bamboo, wherein the mother bamboo needs to be dug on a sunny day 2-5 days after raining with a method that scourges and roots of the bamboo are cut from the periphery, the mother bamboo needs to be dug with a soil ball with 5-6 groups of branches and leaves reserved, and then the mother bamboo is conveyed; selecting planting land; planting; spreading 5-8g agricultural water-retaining agents in each pre-dug planting hole, placing a soil ball into each planting hole according to a standard that the upper surface of the soil ball is 3-5cm higher than the ground, backfilling surface soil to enable the soil balls to be flush, adding 2-3g water-retaining agents into the backfilled surface soil and pestling till the soil is compact; adding soil till the soil balls are flush and then treading till the soil is compact; preserving soil moisture; mix-planting arbor species, namely planting deep-rooted native arbor species evenly in each mu of the afforestation land. According to the drought-resisting afforestation method by means of the phyllostachys bambusoides bamboo species, the survival rate and preserving rate of bamboo are increased in afforestation of an approximate semi-arid area.
