Mineral profile, carbohydrates fractionation, nitrogen compounds and in vitro gas production of elephant grass silages associated with cactus pear

Bulletin of the National Research Centre, 2022
Background The high amount of soluble carbohydrates and the reduced dry matter content in cactus pear can cause excessive fermentation, resulting in nutrient losses, when it is preserved in the silage form.

Nutritional evaluation of elephant grass hybrids

Makerere University Journal of Agricultural & Environmental Sciences, 2001
The nutritive value with regard to stage of maturity of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) hybrids is largely unknown. Elephant grass (KW,) and its hybrids namely, ILCA16786, ILCA16837, ILCA16791.and ILCA16798 were evaluated to determine the effect of stage of maturity on dry matter yields (DM), chemical composition, intake and digestibility by ...

Pyrolysis kinetics of elephant grass pretreated biomasses

Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, 2014
The Elephant Grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum) was pretreated by two independent processes, through washing with hot water (W-EG) and acid solution (AW-EG) to improve its energy properties to apply it in a thermochemical process conversion into fuel. The biomasses were analyzed by proximate and ultimate analysis; and the pyrolysis kinetics, before and

ELEPHANT GRASS-GLASS FIBER HYBRID COMPOSITES

International Journal of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, 2014
An attempt has been made in the present work to explore and the possible use of variety of cultivated/wild grown fiber in the development of elephant grass–glass fiber reinforced polyester hybrid composites. The fiber is extracted from retting and manual method, and the test specimens are prepared as per “ASTM”standards.

Evaluating the African arid corridor hypothesis: A meta‐analysis including the phylogenetic and biogeographical history of Sesamothamnus

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise We examined the African arid corridor (AAC) disjunction pattern of vascular plants between northeastern and southwestern Africa in the context of geological and climatic events since the late Miocene. We developed a phylogenetic and biogeographical framework for the arid‐adapted genus Sesamothamnus (Pedaliaceae), a classic example of ...

Potential of Elephant Grass for Pulp Production

BioResources, 2013
Elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) (EG) is a fast-growing plant with high biomass productivity in the range of 30-45 bone dry t/ha/yr. This high productivity qualifies EG as a potential raw material for bleached pulp production. This study evaluated elephant grass as a raw material for paper pulp production. This was accomplished through determining
