Phytopathology, 2021 Napier grass stunt (NGS) phytoplasma, a phloem-limited bacterium, infects Napier grass leading to severe yield losses in East Africa. The infected plants are strongly inhibited in growth and biomass production. In this study, phytoplasma-induced morphological changes of the vascular system and physiological changes were analyzed and compared with ...

Comprehensive Characterization of Napier Grass as a Feedstock for Thermochemical Conversion [PDF]
Energies, 2015 Study on Napier grass leaf (NGL), stem (NGS) and leaf and stem (NGT) was carried out. Proximate, ultimate and structural analyses were evaluated. Functional groups and crystalline components in the biomass were examined. Pyrolysis study was conducted in a thermogravimetric analyzer under nitrogen atmosphere of 20 mL/min at constant heating rate of 10 K/

Feasibility of Biogas Production from Napier Grass
Energy Procedia, 2014 AbstractThe current study focused on the feasibility of biogas production from Napier grass. Napier grass, a tropical plant, can grow up in drought and dry conditions. Napier grass contains 30.9% total carbohydrates, 27% protein, lipid 14.8%, total ash 18.2%, fiber 9.1% (dry weight). Its organic compositions are an ideal feedstock for biogas production.

Assessment of Biogas Generation Potential of Napier Grass
2015 7th International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering & Technology (ICETET), 2015The present study reports the work on anaerobic digestion of Napier grass. The anaerobic biodegradability of Napier Grass is evaluated in batch as well as continuous type laboratory scale digester. The present work aims to study various species of Napier grass, characteristics of grass silage, and potential of grass bio methane at laboratory Scale. The

Estimation of Outcrossing Rate in Napier Grass
Crop Science, 2019Napier grass [Cenchrus purpureus (Schumach.) Morrone], also known as elephant grass, is an important tropical forage that has the potential to become an alternative feedstock for energy production. Knowledge about the mode of reproduction and outcrossing rate is essential to select the best strategy to apply in breeding programs to develop new ...

Ustilago kamerunensis on Napier grass in Kenya
International Journal of Pest Management, 2002Napier or elephant grass, Pennisetum purpureum Schum., is the major source of fodder for stall-fed dairy cattle in Kenya. In the early 1990s, a new disease, caused by Utilago kamerunensis P. & H. Sydow was reported on the grass. Since there was a lack of information on the general pest and disease status of Napier grass in Kenya, a survey was carried ...

Thermal properties of Napier grass fibers
Materials Letters, 2009The effect of alkali-treatment on the thermal degradation, tensile properties and surface changes of Napier grass fibers was investigated in this work. These fibers were extracted from Napier grass internodes. Some fibers were mercerized with sodium hydroxide solution (2% and 5% W/V).

Study of “napier grass” delignification for production of cellulosic derivatives
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2013Recently, much research on the evaluation of new cellulose sources has been developed. In this context, a promising source is "napier grass", which contains 30.40% lignin, 36.34% cellulose, and 34.12% hemicellulose. In this work, conditions for the delignification of "napier grass" in the laboratory were studied by using calcium oxide (CaO) and ...

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1988
AbstractThe oxalate content of napier grass and of pearl millet × napier grass interspecific hybrids was studied in plants grown in midsummer in the field and in a phytotron under three temperature regimes. The plants in the field were irrigated every 3, 7 or 14 days and given at each irrigation a heavy application of nitrogen, not less than 5 kg N ha ...
