Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Row spacing significantly affected kenaf biomass and biofuel yield.
- Intervention effect Narrower rows had higher kenaf biomass and biofuel yield.
- Intervention effect The highest kenaf densities produced maximum biomass yield of 9.45 to 10.22 Mg·ha-1.
- Intervention effect The highest kenaf densities produced maximum estimated biofuel yield of 1354 to 1464 L·ha-1.
- Intervention effect Stem diameter increased as kenaf density fell.
- Intervention effect Kenaf glucan content was lower at the lowest density, at 27%.
- Intervention effect Kenaf xylan content was lower at the lowest density, at 9.8%.
- Observation Kenaf ash content was 0.15%.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 30-cm rows and 16 to 32 plants·m-2 for maximum kenaf biomass.
- Recommendation The authors concluded kenaf has potential as a cellulosic feedstock in the Northern Great Plains.
