Festuca arundinacea Schr. and Bromus marginatus Ness et Stend. as possible energy crops in the Czech Republic

Original language description

A comparison of yield and biomass quality of Festuca arundinacea Schr. and Bromus marginatus Ness et Stend. was performed to evaluate of their suitability as a potential renewable energy source. The planting of energy crops is a possible use of surplus arable land in the Czech Republic. The experiment was established in Prague in 2002. The yield of dry matter was higher in plots with B. marginatus (5,395.0 kg ha-1) than with F. arundinacea (3,999.0 kg ha-1) in the first year. The energy accumulation andN content in the biomass during vegetation was studied at 14 days intervals. The variety effect was significant on calorific value (P < 0.05). The calorific value ranged from 16.97 to 18.51 kJ g-1. Nitrogen content was significantly effected by time ofsampling. B. marginatus was revealed as a more suitable energy crop than F. arundinacea due to higher yield and more favourable biomass quality.
