Use of biostimulants in elephant grass cv. Napier
This study was developed to examine the growth, yield, chemical composition and in situ degradability of elephant grass cv. Napier (Pennisetum purpureum). Five spraying protocols with biostimulants were tested, namely, Control - no application; 1BR - bioregulator at seven days; 2BR - bioregulator at seven days + bioregulator and foliar fertilization at

Feasibility of Biogas Production from Napier Grass
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.
