Abstract

Energy content of hybrid Rumex patienta L. x Rumex tianschanicus A. Los. (Rumex OK 2) samples from autumn months

Highlights

  • Human population growth (1 billion in 1800 to 7.6 billion in 2017) together with rising living standards create growing demand of energy

  • Rumex OK 2 (Rumex patientia L. x Rumex tianschanicus A.Los.), which is high productive crop with interesting amount of protein has potential to be used in feed industry, as a food, as a medical herb, as well as a technical plant (Usťak, 2007; Rakhmetov and Rakhmetova, 2011; Bazhay-Zhezherun and Rakhmetov, 2014)

  • After three days of wilting, concentration of dry matter increased, wilted Rumex OK 2 samples were for direct combustion unusable

Summary

Introduction

Human population growth (1 billion in 1800 to 7.6 billion in 2017) together with rising living standards create growing demand of energy. The changeover to environmental friendly and a renewable energy sources is expected and appreciate. Biomass is a renewable source of energy. Today is farmed only agricultural soil suitable for intensive crop growing. Soil with low production function, bad localisation or bad climatic condition is not suitable for intensive crop growing. This soil can be used for production of biomass. × Rumex tianschanicus A.Los.) can be used as a feed as well as for biomass production. Dried Rumex OK 2 is produced only in summer months (Usťak, 2007). In this article we aimed to determine the energy value of different Rumex OK 2 samples collected in autumn months of the year 2017
