Energy crops

Energy crops are either the primary crop from cultivated fields, such as maize and grass silage, or the secondary crop from the production of food and feed, such as straw. In this group are also the crops from areas that are otherwise un-utilised for feed and food, such as golf courses.

Average:

Used units are:

Ton for amount
% for dry matter (DM)
% of DM for organic matter and VS
kg per ton for macro elements (N, NH4-N, P, K, organic C, Mg, Ca and Na)
gram per ton for trace elements (Cu and Zn)

The shown values are to be considered as examples, alone, that illustrates the chemical composition for relevant parametres, and as well the variation in the composition. The references must be consulted in each case in order to clarify for instance the analysis method.
