Miscanthus in a Nutshell

As discussed earlier, Miscanthus is a promising non-food crop yielding high quality lignocellulosic material which can be used in a number of ways, including energy and fibre production, thatching, and industrial use.

A recent report published by Earthscan publications explains in detail 'Miscanthus -- For Energy and Fibre', encompasses the results and recommendations arising from extensive trials and experiments carried out by the leading European research organizations and institutions in the field.

Much of the research was performed under the auspices of the Miscanthus Productivity Network, established under European Union's Directorate General for Agriculture (DG VI)

.This book is believed to present expert guidance to growth conditions and breeding of Miscanthus, potential productivity and economics, environmental aspects, and harvesting, storage and utilization.
