Effect of cutting frequency on the yield and properties of elephant grass biomass for bioenergy and animal feed
Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the biomass production and the potential use of the elephant grass hybrid Carajas for animal feeding and bioenergy production under different cutting frequencies. A randomized block design with a 3×3 factorial arrangement was used to evaluate the...
