Improving the bioconversion of lignocellulosic feedstock to bio-fuels and chemicals
… fate of lignocellulosic biomass (wheat-feed and perennial rye grass) in different anaerobic digestion systems, evaluating the role of substrate specificity on the pattern of degradation. The two-stage (biohydrogen-biomethane) anaerobic system was found to be more effective in the degradation of …

Integrated disease management on winter sports turf.
… turf, or coarse turf, consists primarily of perennial rye grass, Lolium perenne, which is used for football, rugby and hockey pitches because of its wear tolerant characteristics). IDM involves the use of a number of control strategies to suppress disease economically and efficiently. Such …

An investigation into the anthelmintic properties of seed extracts from endophyte containing pasture grasses
… the endophytes AR1, AR37, wild type in perennial rye grass (RG), and the loline producing endophytes namely Meadow Fescue (MF and U2) and Tall Fescue (TF and AR542) with Nil endophytes rye grass (Nil RG) and Nil endophytes tall fescue (Nil TF) used as controls. The in vitro efficacy of …

The viability and public perception of the introduction of bio-hydrogen technology to Wales with specific reference to anaerobic dark fermentation of agricultural crops
… performed at full-scale.<br/><br/>Fodder Beet, Perennial Rye Grass and Forage Maize have been identified as the most suitable energy crops and it would be feasible to produce 0.47 TWh of electrical energy annually. This would be enough to power circa 10% of welsh homes, based on the use of a …

Aspects of the root ecology of Neotyphodium endophytes in Lolium perenne
… of the biotrophic endosymbiont, Neotyphodium, in perennial ryegrass were compared with endophyte-free ryegrass (Nil) for their effects on root herbivory, soil biota, root growth, root morphology and alkaloid and nutrient content in pot trials. Ryegrass infected with the endophyte strain, AR37, …

Hydrogen production via dark fermentation of carbohydrate-rich substrates
… of hydrogen production from two energy crops, grass and fodder maize in batch culture without pretreatment; investigated the effect of increase in substrate (sucrose) concentration, attractive from an energy point of view, on the yield and stability of hydrogen production in continuous culture; …

The effect of aeration and aerator design on the physical, chemical and fertiliser quality of cattle slurry
… in a higher fresh and dry weight yield for perennial rye grass when compared to unaerated slurry on a clay loam soil. The ability to predict the nitrogen value of aerated slurry would offset some of the cost for inorganic fertiliser.
