Bioenergy perennial grasses (BPGs) are effcient from a water perspective and can afford a lowenergy cultivation system. This work reports the results of the first-year harvest that screened several genotypes of three species (Miscanthus hybrids, Arundo donax and Saccharum spontaneum spp. aegyptiacum) under two irrigation levels. The results highlighted the effect of irrigation water at establishment to improve biomass yield. Miscanthus x giganteus and S. spontaneum showed the highest reduction in biomass yield due to the lower irrigation, while A. donax and the two new seed-based hybrids were less influenced by the irrigation level.

Abstract

Bioenergy perennial grasses (BPGs) are effcient from a water perspective and can afford a lowenergy cultivation system. This work reports the results of the first-year harvest that screened several genotypes of three species (Miscanthus hybrids, Arundo donax and Saccharum spontaneum spp. aegyptiacum) under two irrigation levels. The results highlighted the effect of irrigation water at establishment to improve biomass yield. Miscanthus x giganteus and S. spontaneum showed the highest reduction in biomass yield due to the lower irrigation, while A. donax and the two new seed-based hybrids were less influenced by the irrigation level.
