In northern Vietnam, with many years of production experience, local farmers have used common additives, including salt and sugar, to improve the quality and taste of
elephant grass silage.
The heifers were in a degraded pasture of Tifton 85 (Cynodon dactylon) and received forage supplementation consisting of

Labor is associated with the feed used in this system: corn and
elephant grass. Corn is normally produced on the farms to feed other farm animals, such as chickens and pigs.
The agricultural fields studied were cropped with different plant species, including
elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum, Schumach), apple guava (Psidium guajava, L.), passion fruit (Passiflora edulis, Sims), carrot (Daucus carota, L.), maize (Zea mays, Mill.), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum, Mill.), and green pepper (Capsicum annuum, L.).
Among the topics are biofuels in history, microalgae taxonomy and breeding, cell wall structure and novel manipulation strategies,
elephant grass, oilseed brassicas, willow, eucalyptus and bamboo, and phytoremediation trees for biofuel.
Last year PS6.3m of UK Government funding was granted to the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences (Ibers) in Aberystwyth for the development of a promising biofuel crop called miscanthus, also known as

Several plant species naturally adapted to flooded environments have been deployed in these systems, such as cattail (Typha latifolia L.) (BRASIL et al., 2007a and b; FIA et al., 2008, 2011; MATOS et al., 2009a and b; WANG et al., 2009), plant species of the grass family, such as Tifton-85 (Cynodon sp.) (FIA et al., 2011, MATOS et al., 2008, 2009a and b, 2010a and b),
elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum)(MATOS et al., 2008), ryegrass (Lolium multiforum) (FIA et al., 2010a, b and c), and ornamental plants such as heliconia (Heliconia psittacorum) (KONNERUP et al., 2009), arum (Zantedeschia aethiopica) (BELMONT; METCALFE, 2003; ZURITA et al., 2009), agapanto (Agapanthus africanus) (ZURITA et al., 2009) and others.
