Hybrid Rye and Biogas
Here you can learn more about the advantages as a biogas feedstock and agronomic advantages of hybrid rye. Furthermore you can find find a lot of useful downloads and publications.
Key advantages as a biogas (AD) feedstock
- High yield potential (35 – 50 t/ha freshweight)
- DM content (30 – 40%)
- Universal soil type and geographic potential
- Spreads storage (clamp) utilisation and harvest workload
- Ideal co-feedstock - comparable biogas yield / FM tonne to maize silage (200 cu/m3)
Agronomic advantages of hybrid rye
- Extreme winter hardiness and frost resistance
- Aggressive tillering capacity
- Drought tolerance – ideal for sandy soils
- Blackgrass suppression – via light reduction in the canopy
- Extends crop rotation
- Very high take-all tolerance – ideal as a second cereal
- Minimal ergot risk – via PollenPlus
