“…In addition, the harvest time also affects the nutrient removal efficiency of sweetcane. The removed N and K in biomass being harvested in late winter was 55% of that being harvested in autumn (Matsunami et al, ).…”

“…Sweetcane is a warm‐season perennial distributed in both tropical and subtropical regions, so its cold resistance, especially its ratoon cold tolerance, is not very strong (Burner et al, ). However, some accessions and breeding lines have demonstrated overwintering abilities in Nasushiobara, Japan, where the mean minimum air temperature in winter was −4.4°C (Matsunami et al, ). Moreover, the ability of hybrid sweetcane‐sugarcane offspring to resist low temperatures was much stronger than that of sugarcane (Ram, Sreenivasan, Sahi, & Singh, ).…”

“…On the other hand, a field experiment in USA showed that the nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) removal capacity of sweetcane could reach up to 240 kg/ha, 65 kg/ha, and 390 kg/ha, respectively (Singh et al, ). The N content of sweetcane biomass, which was harvested 2 years after planting, was 309 kg/ha in Japan (Matsunami et al, ). Moreover, sweetcane exhibited the ability to accumulate N and P in constructed wetland, which was used to treat light eutrophic water in southern China (Jiang et al).…”

“…This also proves the great nutrient removal ability of sweetcane. However, due to the ability to absorb N from deeper soil and store N in underground parts during winter for the next growing season, only 20% of N in sweetcane individual plant originated from fertilizer (Matsunami et al, ).…”

“…Sweetcane was introduced as an energy grass to Japan (Matsunami et al, 2018;Tagane et al, 2011;Uwatoko et al, 2011;Yamamura et al, 2013), as well as to Florida and North Carolina of USA (Fedenko et al, 2013;Palmer, Gehl, Ranney, Touchell, & George, 2014). The potential invasiveness of sweetcane in Florida was evaluated using the Australian Weed Risk Assessment system, and the results showed that sweetcane had a low probability of becoming invasive (Gordon, Tancig, Onderdonk, & Gantz, 2011).…”

Sweetcane (Erianthus arundinaceus [Retzius] Jeswiet) is an ecologically dominant warm‐season perennial grass native to southern China. It traditionally plays an important role in sugarcane breeding due to its excellent biological traits and genetic relatedness to sugarcane. Recent studies have shown that sweetcane has a great potential in bioenergy and environmental remediation. The objective of this paper is to review the current research on sweetcane biology, phenology, biogeography, agronomy, and conversion technology, in order to explore its development as a bioenergy crop with environmental remediation potential. Sweetcane is resistant to a variety of stressors and can adapt to different growth environments. It can be used for ecological restoration, soil and water conservation, contaminated land repairing, nonpoint source pollutants barriers in buffer strips along surface waters, and as an ornamental and remediation plant on roadsides and in wetlands. Sweetcane exhibits higher biomass yield, calorific value and cellulose content than other bioenergy crops under the same growth conditions, thereby indicating its superior potential in second‐generation biofuel production. However, research on sweetcane as a bioenergy plant is still in its infancy. More works need be conducted on breeding, cultivation, genetic transformation, and energy conversion technologies.

Erianthus species have potential as breeding materials for sugarcane and as a biomass crop for fiber production. However, limited information about their genetic variation in agronomic traits hinders their practical utilization. Thus, in this study, we evaluated genetic variation and genetic correlations among 11 agronomic traits in plants grown as multiple-ratoon crops (plant crop to the third ratoon crop) for 98 clones of E. arundinaceus and 32 clones of E. procerus collected across Thailand. Among the clones tested, large genetic variation was observed in the 4-yr average, range, and genetic coefficient of variation of dry matter yield for both E. arundinaceus (12.1, 2.2 to 30.6 kg stool −1 , and 41.7%, respectively) and E. procerus (8.0, 2.7 to 16.3 kg stool −1 , and 25.5%, respectively). Many clones provided better dry matter yield and lower yield reductions in ratoon crops than a sugarcane cultivar (Saccharum spp. hybrid, 5.2 kg stool −1 ) and Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum, 6.6 kg stool −1 ). Genetic variation was observed for stalk number, stalk length, stalk diameter, single stalk weight, Brix, dry matter content, and proportions of both pith and stem parts in stalks, which are important traits in sugarcane breeding. The dry matter yield showed the highest genetic correlation with stalk number (.958 in E. arundinaceus and .700 in E. procerus). Based on the results, clones with various combinations of advantageous traits were identified as promising genetic resources. These results provide important agronomic information that can be used to exploit this Erianthus germplasm for sugarcane improvement and fiber production in Thailand.
