Influence of a dry year on the Virginia mallow energy properties
Proceedings - 58th Croatian & 18th International Symposium on Agriculture | 11-17 February, 2023, Dubrovnik, Croatia, 2023 This paper is based on the energy characteristics of Virginia mallow (Sida hermaphrodita L. Rusby) with the correlation of harvest time and dry year. Virginia mallow attracts attention as an energy crop due to the additional benefits it brings with it, such as: possibility of conversion into different forms of energy, highly attractive for pollinators ...

Acta Agraria Debreceniensis, 2012 In the seventies of the previous century, Dr. Zoltán Kováts set two directions in the research of mallows. One of the directions was the biotechnology of the mallow species and the other direction is using the mallow species as biomass material. In order to do this he brought mallow mother spawns of ornamental and biomass sorts from botanical gardens ...
