Napier grass stunt disease (NGSD) is the main biotic factor limiting Napier grass production in the East African reg ion. Its management is, however, hampered by inadequate epidemiological information. This study determined the temporal spread of NGSD in Napier grass fields.

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 ...

Nutritions Forage from Napier and Guinea Grasses
Madras Agricultural Journal, 1952Napier and Guinea grasses are recognized drought-resistant forage crops. They were introduced into the Punjab in 1926, and because of their long life and capability of giving high yields of green stuff without much effort or care were finally recommended for cultivation in the State in 1931. Both tirese grasses are perennial and supply large quantities

Shear Characteristics of Napier Grass Stems
Applied Engineering in Agriculture, 2015Abstract. This study used a single pendulum impulse-cutting device to simulate the shearing conditions of cutting Napier grass stem in different harvest periods for a forage grass harvester. The test data and analysis results suggested that the shear strength of Napier grass stem increased with the bevel angle and shear velocity, and the shear ...

Yields of extracted leaf protein from hybrid Napier grass
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1974AbstractIn connection with the production of leaf protein in quantity, the effects of fertilisers and frequency of cutting on the yields of dry matter and extractable protein were studied with hybrid Napier grass (gajraj) during 1969 to 1973 using a laboratory‐scale extraction unit.

GENETIC VARIABILITY IN NAPIER GRASS, Pennisetum purpureum
Madras Agricultural Journal, 1994Studies were made to estimate the available genetic variability for 12 characters of forage value on a germplasm collection of 53 genotypes of napier grass. High level of variability was observed for all the characters excepting leaf length. Higher estimates of GCV and heritability showed that the characters were highly heritable with scope of ...

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

Elephant Grass, Napier Grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.)
1988Pennisetum purpureum is an important forage grass belonging to section Penicillaria of Gramineae, and is closely related to pearl millet (P. americanum). It is a rhizomatous perennial commonly called napier grass or elephant grass, perhaps due to its large size.

Napier grass strips and livestock: a bioeconomic analysis
Agroforestry Systems, 1998Napier grass strips are gaining some acceptance in Southeast Asia as a vegetative means of soil erosion control, due to the relative ease of establishment and management. In addition, the napier grass strips aid productivity of agroforestry systems by providing mulch or by being fed to livestock.

CHARACTER ASSOCIATION AND COMPONENT ANALYSIS IN NAPIER GRASS
Madras Agricultural Journal, 1998Correlation and path coefficient analysis was carried out using 40 diverse genotypes of napier grass for 10 component characters including green fodder yield. Number of tillers per plant. number of leaves per plant, leaf weight, stem weight and leaf stem ratio had positive correlation with greza fodder yield both at phenotypic and genotypic levels ...
