These pellets are generally derived from various sources including the timber industry, sawdust, sugarcane crop, woody plants, and switch grass or miscanthus. |
Not only molinia and miscanthus but deschampsia, panicum and pennisetum change colour, shifting to a softer palette but adding to the mix their fluffy seed heads. |
Two species, switchgrass and giant miscanthus, are of interest as dedicated energy crops as both have great biomass production potential. |
A tubbed specimen of miscanthus may be only half the size of an in-ground plant, yet it can serve a similar purpose. |
The hope for the future is biofuels produced from cellulosic feedstocks such as corn stover, switchgrass, miscanthus, and woody crops. |
Late spring is the best time to plant grasses that originate from warmer climates, such as Miscanthus, Spartina and Panicum. |
