Content and Uptake of Ash and Selected Nutrients (K, Ca, S) with Biomass of <i>Miscanthus × giganteus</i> Depending on Nitrogen Fertilization
Fertilisation has a significant impact not only on the yielding, but also on the quality of the harvested biomass. Among energy crops, <i>Miscanthus × giganteus</i> are some of the most important plants used for combustion process. The chemical composition of biomass has significant impa...

Fertilisation has a significant impact not only on the yielding, but also on the quality of the harvested biomass. Among energy crops, <i>Miscanthus × giganteus</i> are some of the most important plants used for combustion process. The chemical composition of biomass has significant impact on the quality of combustion biomass. The effect of nitrogen fertilisation (with dose of 60 kg N ha<sup>−1</sup>) in different terms of biomass sampling on the content and uptake of crude ash, potassium, calcium and sulphur by rhizomes, stems, leaves and the aboveground part of miscanthus was evaluated in the paper. Nitrogen fertilisation contributed to the increase of ash content in the rhizomes and the aboveground part of plants.
