This study examined the effects of liming, straw return, and local sediment amendments on nutrient availability and barley yield in Eldoret, Kenya. Plots were established with 1% and 3% of two local ...

Image credit altM Harvest seasons in India generate millions of tons of agricultural residue from rice straw to sugarcane bagasse. While some of this goes into fuel or animal feed, rice straw is still ...

The process converts lignocellulosic biomass into sugars, pure lignin, pulp and biochemical and involves fractionation and hydrolysis to produce more than 95 percent yield of sugars.

The additional demand of the chemical industry for biomass to cover 20% of its production by 2050 is comparatively small, even for Europe: The demand for European primary agricultural biomass would ...

Penicillium canescens 10-10c strain was cultivated on barley straw hydrolysate as a soluble nutrient source and as inducer for xylanase production. Barley straw hydrolysate was obtained by treatment ...

Within this study, the screw press pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass and its effect on the subsequent chemical pretreatment steps were evaluated. Macroscopic disruption and defibration of reed ...

Barley is a cool-season crop that grows best in regions with long, cool winters and short, mild summers. They grow it in areas with average annual temperatures ranging from 10-20°C (50-68°F).

A bespoke eco-home made from straw and covered in cedar shingles has gone on the market for £275,000. The walls of the two-bedroom property are made from barley straw, but it looks like a sturdy ...

Similarly, barley straw values for big square bales were up by almost £40/t on April 2023 levels, reaching an average of £88/t and top prices of £115/t.

Straw is one of the main lignocellulosic wastes produced during cereal crop cultivation. The abundance of barley straw makes it a good candidate for bioethanol production. This work deals with barley ...
