Oxalate accumulation in napier grass and pearl millet × napier grass interspecific hybrids in relation to nitrogen nutrition, irrigation and temperature

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 ...

Screening Napier grass accessions for resistance to Napier grass stunt disease using the loop-mediated isothermal amplification of DNA (LAMP)

Crop Protection, 2017
Abstract Napier grass stunt (NGS) disease is a major threat to Napier grass cultivation and the smallholder dairy industry in East and Central Africa. The disease is caused by a phytoplasma, which is transmitted by the leafhopper Maiestas banda (Kramer) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae).

Study of “napier grass” delignification for production of cellulosic derivatives

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2013
Recently, 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 ...

Chemical composition and structural characterization of Napier grass fibers

Materials Letters, 2012
Abstract Napier grass fibers were analyzed by chemical, FTIR and solid-state 13 C NMR methods. These fibers were also treated with 2% and 5% aq. NaOH solutions and the effect of alkali treatment on the composition and structure of the fibers was studied.

Pyrolysis of napier grass in an induction-heating reactor

Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis, 2010
Abstract In this work, the yield and chemical characterization of pyrolytic products from the induction-heating pyrolysis of napier grass, one of potential energy grasses, have been studied at the specified conditions. Although the yields of bio-oil and char were a little related to the feedstock size less than 1 mm, it was observed that the yield of

Biogas Production from Napier Grass at Various Cutting Intervals

2016
This work focused on a study of methane (CH4) production from Napier grass at various cutting intervals. Digestion of Napier grass at cutting intervals of 30, 45, 60, 90 days was investigated in two-stage (acidogenic and methanogenic) anaerobic reactors. Four sets of reactors were constructed with plastic bottles. The reactor working volume was 4 and 5

Napier Grass Derived Cellulose Acetate Membrane for Water Purification

Journal of Nepal Chemical Society
Napier grass is one of the widely cultivated forage plants. The stem region of the plant, an agro waste, is being explored in fabrication of paper, biogas production, and as composite material. The purpose of this study was to extract cellulose from Napier grass, modification of the cellulose to cellulose acetate, and use the acetate in fabrication of ...
