AU - Bollero, German A. Wholesale only. The large perennial grass must be established from vegetative pieces at great cost to farmers, but it promises a decade or more of massive biomass yields, starting in year two or three. Miscanthus Giganteus shows an inconsistent response to fertilizer and is generally characterized by low input requirements for production. Miscanthus x giganteus. AU - Hager, Aaron G. PY - 2011/7/1. Erik Sacks in front of a 11.5-foot-tall stand of Miscanthus x giganteus at the University of Illinois's Energy Farm. Cave‐in‐Rock). By breeding Miscanthus with improved photosynthesis during the chill of early spring and late autumn, we can develop new hybrids that yield even more than M. x giganteus "Illinois." Native to Japan, China and Korea, these grasses are commonly used as ornamental plants, as well as a barrier plant along roadsides and in agricultural fields. 2011. The Japanese Miscanthus accessions were also compared to 79 diploid M. sinensis or M. sinensis×M. Excel Download PDF Download. Breeders have been working to develop new Miscanthus hybrids for years, but the clonal crop’s sterility, complex genome, and long time to maturity make conventional breeding difficult. 2010. The goal of this study was to identify cold-tolerant genotypes within two species of Miscanthus related to the exceptionally chilling-tolerant C 4 biomass crop accession: M. ×giganteus ‘Illinois’ (Mxg) as well as in other Mxg genotypes. Get Current Availability. A Growers Guide. Growing Giant Miscanthus in Illinois. A Role for Biomass Crops..... 76 B. Miscanthus x giganteus is a sterile hybrid reaching staggering heights of 12 feet in one growing season. Miscanthus x giganteus, hereafter referred as M. x giganteus,is emerging as one of the most promising crops suitable for biomass production because it requires low inputs and produces high yields (Heaton, Flavell et al., 2008). Send by email Printer-friendly version. Y1 - 2011/7/1. 1 - 10 of 10. Miscanthus x giganteus is a sterile hybrid reaching heights of 3.5 – 4.0 metres each season, once it is established. Browse. However, this sterility necessitates vegetative propagation, a time and labor intensive process that currently challenges the crop's adoption. National Non-Food Crops Centre. Abstract. Plant Disease 95: 413-418. canthus (Miscanthus × giganteus, Poaceae/Graminae). Bottom row: Miscanthus 'Nagara' before and after the same winter. The high-yielding sterile C-4 perennial grass M. x giganteus outperformed switchgrass, maize, and other competing crops in trials in Illinois, USA and in Europe. … Giant miscanthus (Miscanthus x giganteus) is a sterile hybrid perennial warm-season grass that grows relatively fast on less-than-ideal soils, making it a preferred energy crop. 11. Age-Dependent Demographic Rates of the Bioenergy Crop Miscanthus × giganteus in Illinois - Volume 5 Issue 2 Miscanthus × giganteus (Miscanthus giganteus, giant miscanthus) is a highly productive, rhizomatous C4 perennial grass, originating from Asia. Miscanthus species have been used for forage and thatching in Japan for thousands of years, managed through burning and grazing in vast prairies similar to those managed by Native American tribes in the central United States (Stewart et al., 2009). Giant miscanthus has been widely studied and grown in Europe where it is being used to produce biomass to burn for heat and electricity. They also belong to a prominent grass family that includes corn, sorghum and sugarcane. It produces new shoots (stalks) annually which average 3 / 8" in diameter, with 4" average cluster spread. Giant miscanthus (Miscanthus x giganteus Greef et Deu.) Giant Miscanthus. Giant Miscanthus is substantial both in size and in good looks. Biofuels: Methods and Protocols 581: 41–52 . A biogeochemical analysis of Miscanthus x giganteus under nitrogen fertilizer treatments and across multiple soil types Welcome to the IDEALS Repository. is a perennial, warm-season Asian grass with the C4 photosynthetic pathway. This grass is sterile triploid (three sets of chromosomes) formed by a natural cross of miscanthus sacchariflorus and miscanthus sinensis. Introduction..... 76 A. Scientific Name: Miscanthus Andersson. 10 Search Results. Miscanthus (Miscanthus X Giganteus) is a "woody" perenial grass of Asian descent, that when established, will grow about 11 1 / 2 ' yearly. It is a sterile (non-invasive) hybrid of M. sinensis and M. sacchariflorus, and grows to heights of more than 4 meters (12 feet) in one growing season (from the third season onwards). Productivity ..... 85 A. European and US Trials..... 85 B. Pyter R, Heaton E, Dohleman F, Voigt T, Long S (2009) Agronomic Experiences with Miscanthus × giganteus in Illinois, USA. Because M. x giganteus is highly efficient in its N use, it is a great potential energy crop because it has had large yields even at low N inputs from fertilizers (including no additions of N fertilizer). The Illinois clone of Miscanthus × giganteus has many traits of an ideal biomass crop, including sterility, which significantly limits invasive potential. (Poaceae) x giganteus Greef & Deuter. biomass of Panicum virgatum and Miscanthus giganteus was evaluated at three sites in Illinois over two years. The objective is for growers to understand the inputs, costs, and potential revenues involved in cultivating miscanthus. Most crops require nitrogen (N) fertilization to maximize productivity, but the amount of N fertilizer Miscanthus x giganteus might need is currently not known. It grows in a 10-foot, arching shape with deep green, wide leaves. Numata M (1974) Grassland vegetation. Retail; Nursery Name City State / Province ; Earthly Pursuits, Inc. Windsor Mill : Maryland : Earthly Pursuits, Inc. The hybrid of interest, Miscanthus × giganteus, is the product of two separate species, Miscanthus sinensis and Miscanthus sacchariflorus, each of which have different numbers of chromosomes and contain a great deal of variation within and across natural populations. Send by email Printer-friendly version. Miscanthus grasses are a perennial plant introduced to North America near the end of the nineteenth century. Download our availability and order form for pricing, what's in stock, and future availability. Grown largely for biofuels, this plant also acts as a great screen. IDEALS. Miscanthus, a potential bioufuel crop, uses more water than corn or soybeans but is better for water quality, reported scientists from the University of Illinois. Here we report on the results of 4 yr of field measurements of soil moisture and inorganic N leaching from a conventional maize–soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] Crop Modelling..... 92 1Corresponding author. “As far as we know, no one has tried to train genomic selection models from two separate species before.
