Lignocellulosic biomass is one of the dominant renewable energy resources suited for the production of sustainable biofuels and other energy purposes. This study was focused on weed management strategies that can improve the establishment of six lignocellulosic crops. The studied crops included: giant miscanthus, switchgrass, giant reed, cardoon, sweet sorghum, and kenaf. Delayed planting, increased planting densities, and mulching techniques can suppress weeds in giant miscanthus. Weed competition is detrimental for switchgrass establishment. Seedbed preparation and cultivar selection can determine its ability to compete with weeds. Giant reed is unlikely to get outcompeted by weeds, and any weed control operation is required only for the first growing season. Competitive cultivars and increased seeding rates maximize the competitiveness of cardoon against weeds. Several cultural practices can be used for non-chemical weed management in sweet sorghum and kenaf. For all crops, pre-emergence herbicides can be applied. The available safe post-emergence herbicides are limited. Mechanical weed control during crucial growth stages can provide solutions for sweet sorghum, kenaf, and perennial grasses. Further research is required to develop effective weed management strategies, with emphasis on cultural practices, that can improve the establishment of these prominent lignocellulosic crops.

“…Kondisi iklim selama penelitian lebih rendah dari persyaratan tumbuh optimal pada tanaman kenaf, yaitu curah hujan kisaran 780-1200 mm dengan suhu udara 25-27 o C dan kelembapan relatif antara 68-82 % (LeMahieu et al, 1991;Falasca et al, 2014). Rata-rata suhu udara dan jumlah curah hujan per-10 hari di lokasi penelitian selama periode pertumbuhan tanaman kenaf dapat dilihat pada Gambar 1.…”

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran kompos tandan kosong kelapa sawit (TKKS) dan pupukanorganik dalam meningkatkan serapan hara N, P, K dan Pertumbuhan tanaman kenaf. Penelitian dilakukan di Desa Martebing Kecamatan Dolok Masihul Kabupaten Serdang Bedagai Provinsi SumateraUtara pada bulan April-Agustus 2015 menggunakan Rancangan Faktorial dalam Rancangan AcakKelompok dengan tiga ulangan. Faktor pertama adalah dosis kompos TKKS (O) dengan empat taraf, yaitu0, 10, 20, dan 30 ton ha-1 dan faktor kedua adalah dosis pupuk anorganik (A) dengan empat taraf, yaitu 0,200, 400, 600 kg ha-1. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa interaksi kedua perlakuan berpengaruh nyatapada peubah pengamatan tinggi tanaman dan diameter batang namun berpengaruh tidak nyata terhadapbiomassa. Pemberian kompos TKKS dan pupuk anorganik dan juga peningkatan dosisnya meningkatkanserapan N, P dan K daun. Serapan unsur hara N, P, dan K daun tertinggi berturut-turut adalah 1,65; 0,064;dan 0,31 g/tanaman pada perlakuan kompos TKKS 30 ton ha-1 dan pupuk anorganik 600 kg ha-1.

“…In the past, the importance of the crop was mainly focused on paper production, while the last two decades, kenaf has been characterized as a multipurpose crop owing to its high number of industrial applications (fibres and fibre strands, protein, oils, and allelopathic chemicals), medicines and oil absorbents. (Alexopoulou and Monti, 2013;Falasca et al, 2014).…”

Identifying and assessing genetic diversity in kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) using agromorphological markers is problematic, thus, necessitating the use of biochemical markers. Thirty five kenaf genotypes were evaluated for genetic diversity using 13 agromorphological characters and seed proteins. The field experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications; the data were subjected to Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Cluster Analysis (CA) to group the genotypes. The observed genetic diversity among the genotypes based on Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of seed proteins was presented in the form of a dendrogram generated by the UPGMA cluster analysis. The relative effectiveness of the two types of markers in assessing the diversity among the genotypes was investigated. The CA grouped the 35 genotypes into eight clusters; the PCA revealed that the first three principal components accounted for 66.60% of the total variation among the genotypes. Plant height, stalk height, internode distance, number of seeds/pod, basal stem diameter, number of pods/plant, pod length and seed yield/plant were identified as traits that best described the genotypes. The seed protein dendrogram, in addition to grouping the 35 genotypes into four major clusters, was able to identify duplicates within the population.
