Determination and sorting of cup plant seeds to optimize crop establishment
Landtechnik, 2018 By using cup plant (Silphium perfoliatum L.), which is native to North America, as biogas substrate, there is an economically interesting alternative or supplement to the predominantly used substrate maize.

Determination of the seed geometry of cup plant as requirement for precision seeding
Landtechnik, 2017 In search of economically and ecologically interesting alternatives and additions to maize, currently the predominantly used biogas substrate, cup plant (Silphium perfoliatum L.) has been found as a promising plant species. The perennial composite, which

TOF-SIMS Molecular Imaging and Properties of pMDI-Bonded Particleboards Made from Cup-Plant and Wood
Applied Sciences, 2021 Cup-plant (Silphium perfoliatum L.) stalks were investigated as a potential wood-replacement in particleboards (PBs). Two types of PBs were produced—(1) single-layer and (2) three-layer boards.

Splash-cup plants accelerate raindrops to disperse seeds [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2013 The conical flowers of splash-cup plants Chrysosplenium and Mazus catch raindrops opportunistically, exploiting the subsequent splash to disperse their seeds. In this combined experimental and theoretical study, we elucidate their mechanism for maximizing dispersal distance.

Ligno-cellulose quality and calorific value of green phytomass of Silphium perfoliatum L. cultivated on marginal soils under conditions of moderate continental climate of Central Europe [PDF]
Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2023 The aim of study was to determine ligno-cellulose quality and calorific value of cup plant Silphium perfoliatum L., whereas impact of nutrition, years and sites on the quality were evaluated as main effects within a huge pilot field experiment.
