Factors Affecting In vitro True Digestibility of Napiergrass
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2006 Changes of in vitro true digestibility (IVTD) of Napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum) were determined by a filter bag system, and their relationships to chemical composition, leaf to stem ratio, plant height, geographic location, climatic factors and harvest interval were studied and used to develop prediction models for the crude protein (CP), acid ...

Dynamic, Intermediate Soil Carbon Pools May Drive Future Responsiveness to Environmental Change
Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 607-616, July-August 2018., 2018 Accurately capturing dynamic soil response to disturbance effects in agroecosystem models remains elusive, thereby limiting projections of climate change mitigation potential. Perennial grasses cultivated in zero‐tillage management systems hold promise as sustainable agroecosystems. High‐yielding tropical C4 grasses often have extensive rooting systems,

Availability of napiergrass as a raw material for methane production.
Japanese Journal of Crop Science, 1990 Methane fermentation of napiergrass (Pennisetum purpurum Schumach, cv. Merkeron) in the first year of growth at several places varying in the climate (Tokyo, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Miyazaki, Naha and Iriomote Island) was investigated. The gas evolution rate examined using fresh material of the plant at 37°C for 7 days, was 542 L per kg based on dry matter ...

The Plant Genome, Volume 9, Issue 2, July 2016., 2016 Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br; also Cenchrus americanus (L.) Morrone] is an important crop throughout the world but better genomic resources for this species are needed to facilitate crop improvement. Genome mapping studies are a prerequisite for tagging agronomically important traits. Genotyping‐by‐sequencing (GBS) markers can be used to

Current Challenges in Commercially Producing Biofuels from Lignocellulosic Biomass
International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Biofuels that are produced from biobased materials are a good alternative to petroleum based fuels. They offer several benefits to society and the environment. Producing second generation biofuels is even more challenging than producing first generation biofuels due the complexity of the biomass and issues related to producing, harvesting, and ...
