Genetic Diversity of Elephantgrass Ecotypes for Bioenergy Production
2017The aim of this work was to study the genetic diversity of elephantgrass ecotypes and recommend crosses for bioenergy production. The accessions of the Active Elephantgrass Germplasm Bank of Embrapa (BAGCE) classified in the standard ecotypes Cameroon and Napier were evaluated. Three evaluation cuttings were carried out.

Solar Energy Recovery by Elephantgrass, Energycane, and Elephantmillet Canopies
Crop Science, 1993Elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) and energycane (Saccharum spp.) have been identified as biomass plants for renewable energy. A field study was conducted at Gainesville, FL, in 1989 and 1990 to identify plant attributes that allowed these C4 bunchgrasses to accumulate high annual dry matter (DM) yields and to compute the efficiency by which ...

Model Analysis for Response of Dwarf Elephantgrass to Applied Nitrogen and Rainfall
Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 2004In numerous articles, the extended logistic model has been used to describe response of annual and perennial crops to applied nutrients [such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus, and potassium]. The model accounts for coupling between dry matter and plant nutrient accumulation by way of phase relationships.

Adaptability and Stability Analysis for Selection of Elephantgrass Clones under Grazing
Crop Science, 2015ABSTRACTAdaptability is the capacity of a genotype to respond favorably to changes in the environment, while stability is the capacity to have highly predictable performance in different environmental conditions. In this study, the stability and adaptability of eight Pennisetum spp. clones were assessed.

Fodder crops and fodders are best defined as sources of herbage or feeds grown or utilized for special purposes, in contrast with sown and grazed perennial pasture for more general use. Certain fodders may have a place in a given farm situation but elsewhere or at some other time they may be less desirable, for want of other important characters.

Stocking Rate and Nitrogen Fertilization Affect Root Decomposition of Elephantgrass
Agronomy Journal, 2015Roots are an important component controlling grassland sustainability. They can act as a C sink of atmospheric CO2 and supply essential nutrients for plant growth. Pasture management strategies intended to increase forage and animal production can also affect root biomass, root composition, and root decomposition.

Defoliation Effects and Seed Yield Components in Pearl Millet ✕ Elephantgrass Hybrids
Agronomy Journal, 1995AbstractPrior to widespread use of seeded hybrids of pearl millet ✕ elephantgrass [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br. ✕ Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.], management to permit mechanical seed harvesting must be developed. Extreme panicle height and high biomass complicate this procedure. Defoliation management is a potential solution.

Vegetative Establishment of Dwarf Elephantgrass: Effect of Defoliation prior to Planting Stems
Agronomy Journal, 1990AbstractCattle (Bos spp.) gains on ‘Mott’ dwarf elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) have averaged 1 kg d−1 during 3 yr of summer grazing in Florida, but vegetative establishment of this cultivar has been problematic. The objective of this research was to determine the effect of defoliation prior to harvesting stems for vegetative planting on ...

Light Interception, Reserve Status, and Persistence of Clipped Mott Elephantgrass Swards
Crop Science, 1996Defoliation management is an important determinant of persistence of perennial forages. Persistence and related responses of ‘Mott’ elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) have not been studied under a wide range of defoliation management practices.
