Agronomic characterization of Taiwan grass [<i>Cenchrus purpureus</i> (Schumach.) Morrone] and evaluation of its potential to produce bioethanol in the warm sub-humid climate of Mexico

The objective of this study was to evaluate the biomass production, chemical composition, proximate analysis, calorific value and theoretical yield of bioethanol of Taiwan grass under 6 cutting frequencies. The highest production of biomass (33 t DM/ha), cellulose content (41.3%), calorific value (1...
