Improving nutrient and water use efficiency of IGNISCUM® – a new bioenergy crop

The new cultivars IGNISCUM Candy® and IGNISCUM Basic® of the Sakhalin Knotweed (Fallopia sachalinensis, Fam. Polygonaceae) are new bioenergy crops, which are characterized by a high annual biomass. The objectives of our study are to investigate (i) the water consumption; (ii) the interrelations betw...

Description
Summary:The new cultivars IGNISCUM Candy® and IGNISCUM Basic® of the Sakhalin Knotweed (Fallopia sachalinensis, Fam. Polygonaceae) are new bioenergy crops, which are characterized by a high annual biomass. The objectives of our study are to investigate (i) the water consumption; (ii) the interrelations between nutrient supply, biomass production, and transpiration; and (iii) the optimization of the biomass production.
