Assessment of Potential Ecological Adaptation of the Species Miscanthus Giganteus in Conditions of Fly Ash Deposit

Miscanthus giganteus is a large, perennial (up to 20 years) grass hybrid of M. sinensis and M. sacchariflorus native to Japan. It is a sterile hybrid, therefore it propagates vegetative through its rhizomes and that it is a completely non-invasive species. For three years we have monitored a culture...

Description
Summary:Miscanthus giganteus is a large, perennial (up to 20 years) grass hybrid of M. sinensis and M. sacchariflorus native to Japan. It is a sterile hybrid, therefore it propagates vegetative through its rhizomes and that it is a completely non-invasive species. For three years we have monitored a culture of Miscanthus Giganteus on an area of 300 m2, divided into three experimental groups: fertilization with 50 t*ha-1 sewage sludge; fertilization with 50 t*ha-1 manure; 100 kg*ha-1 N15P15K15. Only in the first year of vegetation was assured irrigation. In the first year of vegetation was observed that the species Miscanthus giganteus can adapt well to the conditions of fly ash dumps biotope in the case of organic fertilization with sewage sludge and with cattle manure. In the second and third years was observed that again organic fertilization with sewage sludge and with cattle manure have produced the higher vegetative mass, but we observed that inorganic fertilized plot have a good evolution, even in a slow rate. In conclusion we can affirmed that a culture of Miscanthus Giganteus grown in conditions of fly ash deposit improve the environment condition in an ecological way.
