e0“lowest pH (average: 4.39) compared to the harvests in mid‐September and beginning of October”
t0“miscanthus”
e1“The ensiled biomass was found to have an up to 7% higher substrate‐specific methane yield and also showed a higher digestion velocity than the non‐ensiled biomass”
e2“silage quality was best when miscanthus was harvested in mid‐October”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Ensiling increased substrate-specific methane yield by up to 7%.
- Intervention effect Ensiling increased digestion velocity.
- Intervention effect Mid-October harvest gave best silage quality.
- Intervention effect Mid-October harvest had highest lactic acid content, averaging 3.0% of DM.
- Observation Ensiling losses reached 7.6% of fresh matter for Sin55.
- Observation Ensiled miscanthus had substrate-specific methane yield up to 353 Nml CH 4 (g oDM) −1.
- Intervention effect Ensiled and non-ensiled methane hectare yields did not differ significantly.
- Observation Miscanthus x giganteus was judged the best genotype for ensiling because of silage quality.
