Ensiling suitability and microbiological quality of Virginia fanpetals biomass [PDF]
Virginia fanpetals biomass is relatively suitable for ensiling when stem structure is damaged during harvest. Virginia fanpetals biomass is characterized by extensive lactic acid fermentation with a low proportion of volatile fatty acids (VFA). A microbiological evaluation confirmed the predominance of lactic acid bacteria and the presence of a small ...

The Sustainable Future of Carbon Farming with Virginia Fanpetals, a Carbon-Negative Species
In 2016–2018, an experiment with Sida hermaphrodita L. Rusby (Virginia fanpetals) called Sida was conducted in the system of random blocks on sandy and sandy loam soil. Each year, the yields of dry aboveground mass and dried mass of roots were determined.

Full assessment of Sida (Sida hermaphrodita) biomass as a solid fuel
The perennial plant Sida hermaphrodita (Sida) has high potential as an alternative biomass plant for energy purposes. We tested different density cultivation scenarios of Sida to evaluate best growing conditions, cost–benefit ratios, and biomass yield, over a 3 year period under agricultural conditions.
