Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach) comprises up to 80% of the cattle diet in
many tropical and subtropical regions and is used primarily by smallholder farmers. Despite …

Improved forage management can support increased production in smallholder beef
systems. Our objective was to evaluate the effects of mineral nitrogen (urea) and composted …

Densification of thermally treated energy crops by torrefaction is required to increase the
bulk density and to reduce the handling, transport, and storage cost for bioenergy …

New N fertilizer products—organically enhanced NS plus and organically enhanced NS plus
with Fe, manufactured by using sterilized and chemically converted organic additives …

Dryland agroecosystems are generally ideal environments for recycling biosolids. However,
what is the efficacy of biosolids addition to a no-till dryland management agroecosystem …

Abstract Napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) is a high-yielding perennial biomass
crop that is well adapted to the Southeast USA where poultry litter is readily available. This …

Although perennial bioenergy crops provide a potential for soil C sequestration, high
fertilizer inputs are required to sustain yields. Land application of bioenergy byproducts can …

Municipal biosolids (MBS) represents an alternative source of nutrients for the production of
bioenergy crops like elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.). Two experiments …

Use of perennial bioenergy grasses would be enhanced if they produced sustainable ratoon
crops across a wide geographic region. Our objective was to compare ratoon cold tolerance …

Biofuel crops have relatively low economic value, and potential to grow them with low-cost
inputs is essential for economic viability. Use of biosolids as a fertility source has not been …
