Simulation of Biomass Partitioning and Production in Elephantgrass
Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 2006Abstract The expanded growth model has been used to simulate biomass accumulation with time by elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) grown in Florida. It has been used to describe partitioning of biomass between stem and leaf components of the plant as well as total biomass accumulation with time.

Silage Characteristics of Elephantgrass as Affected by Harvest Frequency and Genotype
Agronomy Journal, 1991AbstractElephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) was evaluated in the colder subtropics of Florida as a potential forage source for ruminants. Our objective was to determine if this thick‐stemmed bunchgrass could be stored as silage. A dwarf (‘Mott’) and two tall (PI 300086 and ‘Merkeron’) elephantgrasses were harvested one, two, and three times per

Seasonal changes in chemical composition and leaf proportion of elephantgrass and energycane biomass
Industrial Crops and Products, 2016Abstract Changes in chemical composition of warm-season perennial grasses during the growing season affect conversion of biomass to biofuels, thus influencing choice of harvest date. The objective was to quantify these changes for three candidate bioenergy grasses in the USA Gulf Coast region during two growing seasons and relate them to optimal ...

Growth and Transpiration Responses of Elephantgrass and Energycane to Soil Drying
Crop Science, 2018ABSTRACTElephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) and energycane (Saccharum spp.) are promising perennial bioenergy crops in the southeastern United States. Despite plentiful rainfall in this region, these perennial grasses have a long growing season and are subject to intermittent drying cycles frequently during summer and fall, yet there is little ...

Characterization of seed producing pearl millet x elephantgrass hexaploid hybrids
Euphytica, 1993Successful widespread use of a forage or biomass plant depends largely on its ease of establishment. Elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) is used for both forage and biomass production, due to its high dry matter production, aggressiveness, perenniality, and forage quality.

Dry Matter Accumulation of Elephantgrass, Energycane, and Elephantmillet in a Subtropical Climate
Crop Science, 1993Tall genotypes of elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) and energycane (Saccharum spp.) are potential biomass energy plants in subtropical areas because annual dry matter (DM) yields often exceed 40 Mg ha−1. A field study was conducted to characterize crop performance of these C4 bunchgrasses during the 35‐ to 40‐wk warm season in north‐central ...

Forage Yield and Nutritive Value of Elephantgrass as Affected by Harvest Frequency and Genotype
Agronomy Journal, 1991AbstractElephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) is known throughout much of the wet tropics for its prolific growth and usage as a forage for ruminants. In a 3‐yr study conducted on a welldrained, infertile soil (loamy, siliceous, hyperthermic, Grossarenic Paleudult) and under subtropical conditions near Gainesville, FL, the response of this forage

Determinants of forage quality in Pensacola bahiagrass and Mott elephantgrass
Journal of Animal Science, 1993Our objective was to determine animal responses and forage characteristics that could explain the greater forage quality of 'Mott' dwarf elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) than that of 'Pensacola' bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flugge). Both grasses were harvested after 5 wk of regrowth in June and September. Sheep fed Mott hays had greater (P =

Nutritive Value of Clipped ‘Mott’ Elephantgrass Herbage
Agronomy Journal, 1997AbstractMany tropical grasses are low in nutritive value, but ‘Mott’ dwarf elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumacher) has supported gains of yearling cattle (Bos taurus) approaching 1 kg d−1. To aid in identifying optimum harvest management practices for Mott, this study quantified crude protein (CP) and in vitro digestible organic matter (IVDOM ...

Defoliation Effects on ‘Mott’ Elephantgrass Productivity and Leaf Percentage
Agronomy Journal, 1995Abstract‘Mott’ elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) is a high‐quality pasture grass for the tropics and subtropics, but information is needed on growth responses of Mott to clipping management. In 1989, 1990, and 1991, a study was conducted on a hyperthermic, uncoated Aquic Quart‐zipsamment soil to measure Mott herbage dry matter (DM) harvested ...
