THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS OF ENERGY CROPS GROWING IN THE CONDITION OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC
Original language description
Renewable energy resources have been developing very fast due to negative effects and finite reserves of the fotil fuels. Biomass is ranked among the most promising renewable energy resources within the Central Europe. Corn (Zea mays L.) is currently the most widely grown crop in the Czech Republic; nevertheless, the cultivation of porn provokes soil erosion by water. Perennial energy grass called tall wheatgrass (Elymus elongatus subsp. Ponticus cv. Szarvasi-1) is supposed to be a good and environment-friendly alternative to corn. Field trials including these two crops were established in the experimental locality of South Bohemia. Their yield potential was monitored during spring harvest periods (use for combustion). Dry phytomass was fundamentally analysed (N, C, H, S) and higher heating value was determined too. Universal Soil Loss Equation was calculated for both crop species. Corn provided much higher average yield in a three-year interval; corn phytomass reached higher heating value as well. The area of Elymus elongatus should enlarge considerably, if we wanted to get the identical amount of energy from corn and Elymus elongatus. However, we found that, compared to Zea mays L., water erosion theoretical land losses would be several times less serious for Elymus elongatus.
