Effects of biochar on soil fertility and the morphometry and production of elephant grass cultivars
-Among the various forage species used in ruminant feeding, elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) is notable as it is a perennial plant and has a high potential for dry matter production. The present study evaluated the performance of elephant grass cultivars and soil chemical characteristics under different biochar addition levels and at different evaluation times […]

Biochar characterization of invasive Pennisetum purpureum grass: effect of pyrolysis temperature
Abstract Pennisetum purpureum is one of the most invasive perennial grasses of the Poaceae family, which are abundant in south-east Asia including Brunei Darussalam. The pyrolysis process at a slow heating rate proved to be highly promising for biochar production. The production and characterization of different Pennisetum purpureum biochars have been investigated at the pyrolysis temperatures of 400 °C, […]
