Evaluación de crecimiento, rendimiento y calorimetría de biomasa de Miscanthus x giganteus (Poaceae) establecido en el centro-sur de Chile
Experimental crops of Miscanthus x giganteus were planted in three contrasting sites in Chile south central to evaluate its growth and energy potential. In the second year of growth, the crop exhibited large differences among sites regarding height (52.1 to 158.2 cm), biomass yield (1.1 to 9.0 Mg...

| Sumario: | Experimental crops of Miscanthus x giganteus were planted in three contrasting sites
in Chile south central to evaluate its growth and energy potential. In the second year
of growth, the crop exhibited large differences among sites regarding height (52.1 to
158.2 cm), biomass yield (1.1 to 9.0 Mg ha-1), ash content (3.8 to 9.6%) and calorific
value (16.64 to 18.14 MJ kg-1). The chemical composition of the biomass indicated
cellulose 36%, hemicellulose 22.3% and lignin 26.9%. Elemental analysis indicated C
and H content of 41.9% and 6.6% respectively. Therefore, Miscanthus x giganteus offers
suitable attributes to be used for energy generation in Chile. |
