Efficient bio-ethanol production from napiegrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach) was investigated. A low-moisture anhydrous ammonia (LMAA)-pretreated napiegrass was subjected to simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SSCF), which was performed at 36°C using Escherichia coli KO11, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cellulase, and xylanase. It was found that use of xylanase as well as the LMAA...

The Napier grass continues to be a popular forage crop in Nakhonsawan Province and other areas the northern east-northern parts of Thailand. Increasing growth biomass growing low-quality sandy soil will increase economic value this plant. stem cutting two cultivars grass, cv. Pakchong 1 (Pennisetum purpureum x Pennisetum americanum) sweet Mahasarakham), were exposed plant regulators, gibberelli...

Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.) is a fast-growing perennial grass native to Sub-Saharan Africa that is widely grown across the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It is a multipurpose forage crop, primarily used to feed cattle in cut and carry feeding systems. Characterization and diversity studies on a small collection of Napier grasses have identified a moderate level...

Interspecific hybridization between Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum), which is widely grown in Brazil for cattle forage, and pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) has been used as a breeding strategy for the development of improved cultivars. However, the hybrid between these two species is sterile due to its triploid condition (2n = 3x = 21 chromosomes), which hinders its use in crop breeding p...

This study aims to determine the effect of local microorganism liquid fertilizer on growth and production mini elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv Mott). The used an experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting 4 treatments 3 replications, number units was 12. Treatment MO = No (control), M1: 100 ml MOL fertilizer/polybag, M2: 200 M3: 300 fertilizer/polybag. vari...
