Abstract: Three newly introduced cultivar/lines of leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit.) from Australia (cultivar Tarramba) and Hawaii (lines KU19 and KU66) were compared with current leading cultivars Peru and Cunningham. In 2006–2008, leaf and woody stem production and plant chemical compounds were analyzed for forage and bioenergy utilization. The experiment was conducted at the Kasetsart University Farm, Pak Chong, Nakhon Ratchasima in central Thailand. The results indicated that newly introduced cultivar/… Show more

“…Thus, the ash content from biomass produced at all spacings should not have any adverse clinkering affect on gasification system. The heating values produced in the present study similar to those reported by other researchers [6,26]. All of the spacings produced higher the heating values than the guiding value (3.35 kcal·g …”

“…For these reasons, fast-growing tree farming for biomass production is likely to be a solution and the most sustainable method of fuel supply for biomass gasification electricity generation [4]. Leucaena is expected to become one of the biomass energy resources, because it is a fast growing tropical tree [5] and with a high yields of woody material [6]. Moreover, leucaena can be used for many purposes including forage, wood, shade, green manure, live fences and erosion control [7].…”

“…In the current CA 0.4 ha experiment, 1 year stand ofTarrambacan produce fresh edible forage of 3.5 to 4 ton each year (+1 ton fresh forage at every harvest at 3 months interval), and about 5.35 ton of fresh green Mott grass per year. The potential production of Tarrambawill increase with time or with the increase plant age [11], up to 27 to 38 ton of fresh forage weight at 3-5 year stands, or about 8 to 11 ton DM/ha/year, similar to what was reported before. Under good soil condition Mott grass can produce upto>60 ton of DM/ha/year [12], and when planting between the rows of Leucaenaleucocephala (1mx4m) Mott grass may produce 120 ton/ha fresh forage per year.…”

“…This program has produced superior seeds from the first generation (F1) for Calliandra callothyrsus with increment (growth) reaching 65 m 3 ha -1 year -1 , and second-generation (F2) for Acacia auriculiformis with increment can reach 72 m 3 ha -1 year -1 [70]. In the Leucaena species, preliminary observations show that the Tarramba cultivar with seeds originating from Kupang (East Nusa Tenggara Province) and known to be more resistant to pest, has tremendous biomass potential [71,72]. For Gliricidia species, the breeding is more on efforts to increase plant productivity, especially as a source of animal feed.…”
