Pyrolysis of napier grass in an induction-heating reactor
Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis, 2010Abstract 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

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 ...

Bioethanol production from recovered napier grass with heavy metals
Journal of Environmental Management, 2017Using plants to absorb and accumulate heavy metals from polluted soil, followed by the recycling of explants containing heavy metals, can help achieve the goal of reverting contaminated soil to low heavy-metal content soil. However, the re-use of recovered explants can also be problematic. Meanwhile, bioethanol has become a popular energy source.

Microbial colonization on the leaf surfaces of different genotypes of Napier grass
Archives of Microbiology, 2020To address correlations between population sizes of microbes on the leaf surfaces and leaf morphological and physicochemical properties, various leaf morphological and physicochemical features as possible predictors of microbial population sizes on the leaf surfaces of four Napier grass cultivars were assessed.

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 ...

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.

Resistance of Napier grass clones to Napier grass Stunt Disease.
2014Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach) is the major livestock fodder under intensive and semi-intensive systems in East Africa. However, the productivity of the grass is constrained by Napier grass Stunt Disease (NSD). The purpose of this study was to identify Napier grass clones with resistance to NSD.

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 ...
