Genetic insights into elephantgrass persistence for bioenergy purpose. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2018 Persistence may be defined as high sustained yield over multi-harvest. Genetic insights about persistence are essential to ensure the success of breeding programs and any biomass-based project.

Elephantgrass, a tropical grass for cutting and grazing.
Revista Brasileira de Ciências Agrárias - Brazilian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2021 - Elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum. syn. Cenchrus purpureus) is one of the most important forage plants worldwide, cultivated in almost all tropical and subtropical regions due to its high potential for dry matter production, nutritional value ...

Response of elephantgrass to nutrient solution pH levels. [PDF]
Journal of Plant Nutrition, 1999 Seedlings of elephantgrass (Pennisetumpurpureum, Schum.), cvs. Vruckwona and Napier, were grown in aerated nutrient solution and exposed to pH levels of 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, or 7.0.

Preserving elephantgrass and energycane biomass as silage for energy
Bioresource Technology, 1991 Abstract Elephantgrass ( Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) and energycane ( Saccharum sp.) are being evaluated in the colder subtropics of Florida, USA, as biomass energy crops. At one location near Gainesville, annual dry biomass yields of elephantgrass (full-season growth) in excess of 45 Mg ha −1 have been reported. Our objective was to determine if

Genetic divergence among elephantgrass cultivars assessed by RAPD markers in composit samples Divergência genética entre cultivares de capim-elefante avaliada por marcadores RAPD em amostras compostas [PDF]
Scientia Agricola, 2002 Elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) is native to regions of tropical Africa and was introduced in Brazil around 1920 through plantings imported from Cuba. It is currently one of the most widespread forage plants throughout the country.

Bahiagrass pasture and elephantgrass bioenergy cropping systems differ in root traits
Agronomy Journal, 2020 AbstractRoot morphology and production are important for soil nutrient acquisition and C sequestration, but these traits are poorly understood in the bioenergy crop elephantgrass [Pennisetum purpureum (L.) Schum.]. Our objective was to characterize root traits of elephantgrass receiving different nutrient management practices in comparison with ...

Agronomy Journal, Volume 115, Issue 1, Page 222-229, January/February 2023., 2023 Abstract Constant supply of biomass from the field is limited by the seasonality of production of warm‐season grasses in the transition U.S. region. Delaying harvest after occurrence of freeze may be an alternative to extend the biomass supply period of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) in North Carolina.
