          Abstract

          ABSTRACT The elephant-grass undergoes successive cutting and periodical evaluations that it possible to identify clones with high stability for dry matter production, which can be used for energy production. The present study was carried out to evaluate stability dry matter yield for different parametric and non-parametric methods in elephant grass genotypes for biomass production undergoes successive cutting in the agroclimatic conditions of the Norte Fluminense (RJ, Brazil). The variable measured in the 40 genotypes was dry matter yield (DMY) at 2009, 2010 and 2011 in a field study designed as randomized block design with two replicates. Each sample was grown in different environment condition. The stability methods tested were the Yates and Cochran’s, Plaisted and Peterson’s, Wricke’s ecovalence, Annicchiarico’s, Lin and Binns’ and Kang and Phan’s. Results indicated that cutting (E) and genotypes (G) influenced significantly on the performance of dry matter yield. The non-parametric stability methods were effective for the evaluation of stability in dry matter yield. Genotypes Mercker, Pinda-México, Mercker 86-México, Guaçu/IZ, Mercker Pinda, P-241-Piracicaba and Cubano Pinda were stable stability dry matter yield. Hence, there are genotypes may be exploited in future breeding programmes in order to improve productivity of upland elephant grass over environment.

          RESUMO O capim-elefante sofre sucessivos cortes em avaliações periódicas, possibilitando identificar clones com alta estabilidade para a produção de matéria seca, podendo ser utilizados para a produção de energia. O presente estudo foi realizado para avaliar a estabilidade na produção de matéria seca, considerando métodos paramétricos e não paramétricos, em genótipos de capim-elefante para produção de biomassa submetido a cortes sucessivos nas condições climáticas do Norte Fluminense (RJ, Brasil). A variável medida nos 40 genótipos foi a produção de matéria seca (DMY) em 2009, 2010 e 2011 em um experimento de campo em blocos casualizados com duas repetições. Cada amostra foi cultivada em diferentes condições ambientais. Os métodos de estabilidade testados foram de Yates e Cochran, Plaisted e Peterson, Wricke, Annicchiarico, Lin e Binns e Kang e Phan. Os resultados indicaram que o corte (E) e os genótipos (G) influenciaram significativamente no desempenho para a produção de matéria seca. Os métodos de estabilidade não-paramétrica foram eficientes para a avaliação da estabilidade no rendimento da matéria seca. Os genótipos Mercker, Pinda-México, Mercker 86-México, Guaçu/IZ, Mercker Pinda, P-241-Piracicaba e Cubano Pinda tiveram uma estabilidade estável na produção de matéria seca. Por conseguinte, existem genótipos que podem ser explorados em futuros programas de melhoramento, a fim de melhorar a produtividade de capim elefante no ambiente.

          Feedstocks for lignocellulosic biofuels.

          In 2008, the world produced approximately 87 gigaliters of liquid biofuels, which is roughly equal to the volume of liquid fuel consumed by Germany that year. Essentially, all of this biofuel was produced from crops developed for food production, raising concerns about the net energy and greenhouse gas effects and potential competition between use of land for production of fuels, food, animal feed, fiber, and ecosystem services. The pending implementation of improved technologies to more effectively convert the nonedible parts of plants (lignocellulose) to liquid fuels opens diverse options to use biofuel feedstocks that reach beyond current crops and the land currently used for food and feed. However, there has been relatively little discussion of what types of plants may be useful as bioenergy crops.
