“…Another reason for us to suspect that the ToT affect on g may be considerable is the increasing use of the land resource for crops to be used for conversion to energy products (Baker et al, 1990;Pfeiffer and Cozzarin, 1990;Gilmour, 1986). As non-renewable energy resources become depleted, the relative price of energy is likely to increase, as will the price of the products and resources from which it is derived (Gill and Allen, 1985).…”

“…In summary, with current governmental incentives and regulations, production of biofuel from sugar, starch and oilseeds is feasible, while from cellulose is not [31,99]. However, if the probability of an oil embargo and oligopoly pricing are taken into account, cellulosic-based ethanol could also be competitive with fossil-based fuels [20,100].…”

With the vast number of government programmes around the world supporting virtually every phase of biofuels, there is a strong commitment towards the development of these fuels. However, our current knowledge base of biofuel production, marketing and environmental impact is filled with uncertainty. To shed light on the uncertainty, especially from a US perspective, this review of the biofuel economic literature attempts to determine the most fruitful areas of economic research. As a foundation, it is currently accepted that the US maize-based ethanol industry is sustainable with present government incentives and regulations, while cellulosic-based ethanol is not. Thus, without major new government incentives it is unlikely the USA will achieve goals set by various energy policy acts. The literature indicates a governmental system approach is required which advances biofuels to markets. Such an approach integrates research, regulatory initiatives and education. In terms of the food versus fuel issue, markets are very responsive to price shocks which will mitigate food inflation. However, market gyrations will occur, which will negatively impact the world's poor. With government incentives and regulations, the short-run future of biofuels is bright, while in the long run, biofuels will contribute to, but are unlikely to dominate, our future fuel supply.

“…16 Ethanol production can be carried out both from the aerial part and from the tubers. 12,17 However, other uses are being investigated. As the topinambur is considered a highly invasive weed in European cultivation systems, the allelopathic potential of H. tuberosus was investigated, and the inhibitory capacity of its extracts on the germination and growth of weed and crop seedlings was discovered.…”

To evaluate the effect of Azospirillum and mycorrhizal soil fungi on the nutrition of the Jerusalem artichoke crop (Helianthus tuberosus L.), determinations of agronomic parameters and the health status of the plants were carried out under field conditions. The tests were carried out, at the time of the implantation of the culture: the "seeds" were inoculated with A. brasilense and with native mycorrhizal fungi, generating four treatments including the control and the co-inoculation of the consortium of the microorganisms under study (T0: control or uninoculated control; T1: inoculation with native A. brasilense; T2: inoculation with native mycorrhizal fungi and T3: joint inoculation with A. brasilense and native mycorrhizal fungi). The results indicate that co-inoculation with A. brasilense and native mycorrhizal fungi, significantly increased plant growth in height, leaf area, biomass, dry matter, and yields. It was determined that the application of the selected microorganisms has a promoting effect of plant growth, increasing the growth and productivity of the topinambur crop.
