The difference between Elephant Grass and Royal Bamboo Grass

The leaves of Phyllostachys pubescens are wider and softer than elephant grass, the color of leaves is lighter, and the number of green leaves is 2-3 more. And Phyllostachys pubescens is a four-carbon plant selected from the cross between elephant grass and American pennisetum. It is a new type of cash crop with high efficiency.

1. The basic situation of elephant grass

1. Distribution

Like grasslands come from Africa. Introduced and cultivated in India, Myanmar, Oceania and America. China's Jiangxi, Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places have been successfully introduced and cultivated.

two。 Growth

Elephant grass has strong ecological adaptability. Generally can withstand the high temperature of 37.9 ℃ and the cold and dry climate conditions of 1-2 ℃ in winter and 20% Mel 25% relative humidity, and there is no death. In addition, elephant grass can grow in both sandy soil and clay, and has strong resistance to soil acidity, so it is planted in red loam with a pH value of 4-5.

3. Value

Forage grass: elephant grass is easy to grow, palatable, and has higher nutritional value than ordinary plants, so it is a good feed for wild and domestic animals.

Raw materials for the paper industry: the paper mill in Guilin, Guangxi used elephant grass to make glossy paper, single adhesive paper and matchpaper, all physical indicators are up to the standard.

New bioenergy: elephant grass can be used in the production of ethanol, biogas and electricity.

Ecological benefits: elephant grass can not only conserve water, purify the air, regulate the climate, but also preserve soil and water, strengthen embankments and protect slopes.

2. The basic situation of Emperor Bamboo Grass

1. Distribution

Phyllostachys pubescens can be planted in most parts of the country, especially in the barren mountains and river basins in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

two。 Growth

Phyllostachys pubescens is suitable for cultivation in tropical and subtropical climate, and likes warm and humid climate. Growth requires sunshine time of more than 1000 hours, an average annual temperature of more than 15 ℃, and an altitude of 200 Mel 1500 meters.

3. Value

Environmental protection: it can be used as a high-quality forage to prevent soil erosion.

Papermaking: argon sodium pulping in the paper industry is easy to meet the environmental standards, the sewage treatment equipment is simple, and the investment is small. Secondary pulp can be used to produce high-grade backrest paper, copy paper, coin paper, trademark paper, high-grade aluminum platinum lining paper.

Building materials: it can not only produce high-grade paper products, but also produce cheap fibreboard and wall materials for architectural decoration projects.

New fuel: the biological yield of Phyllostachys pubescens is extremely high, and there is great potential for the development of fuel energy.

Forage: Phyllostachys pubescens is not only nutritious, but also can be cut 6-8 times a year. The yield of fresh grass can reach 20-25t/667m2. Fresh leaves and tender stems are soft and juicy with good palatability.
