Guinea Grass (Megathyrsus maximus) Fibres as Sorbent in Diesel Bioremediation

Sustainability, 2023
In this study, the ability of a natural grass named Megathyrsus maximus (Guinea grass) as a sorbent for cleaning up diesel spills in water was investigated. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to identify the physicochemical properties of untreated and treated GG.

Biological nitrification inhibition and forage productivity of Megathyrsus maximus in Colombian dry tropics [PDF]

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2021
Agronomic, nutritional, and environmental aspects are integrated to promote sustainable tropical grassland production. Biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) is a plant-based strategy to improve nitrogen use efficiency by grasses in which they suppress the pace of soil nitrification via exudation of inhibitory compounds.

Forage yield and morphogenesis of Megathyrsus maximus cultivars in Roraimas’s savannas

Research, Society and Development, 2020
In order to evaluate the forage productivity and the morphogenic and structural characteristics of Megathyrsus maximus cultivars (Massai, Mombasa, Kenya, Tamani, Tanzania and Zuri), an experiment was conduct under natural environmental conditions in the savannahs of Roraima. The highest yields of green dry matter (GDM) were found with cultivars Zuri (4,
