Effect of Fertilization on the Energy Profit of Tall Wheatgrass and Reed Canary Grass

Cultivation of energy crops is a part modern agriculture. In particular, maize (Zea mays L.) widely grown in central Europe. However, terms erosion risk and high demands on fertilization protection against diseases pests, its growing not environmentally friendly. Therefore, possibilities utilization other more friendly have been examined at present. The aim the study was to evaluate effects various (mineral, digestate, control) yields tall wheatgrass (TWG) (Elymus elongatus subsp. ponticus) reed canary grass (RCG) (Phalaris arundinacea cultivated long-term field experiment experimental site Czech Republic. profit from cultivation these protective anti-erosion effect were evaluated. average ranged 4.6 (RCG, mineral fertilization) 7.4 t/ha (TWG, digestate fertilization). profitable species wheatgrass, biomass which also had higher heating value. 80 GJ/ha control variant 133 It has found that tested plants excel could therefore be suitable alternative maize, especially less-favored areas.
