Pěstování Silphium perfoliatum L. pro energetické účely a hodnocení produkčních schopností

The subject of this study is "Cultivation of Silphium perfoliatum L. for energy purposes and evaluation of production capacities". One of the most important renewable energy sources is the energy of phytomass. Recently there has been a significant development of the cultivation of energy plants, as a raw material for biogas production in biogas stations in the conditions of the Czech Republic is mainly a maize. Cultivation of maize is in many ways undesirable. It carries with environmental problems associated, for example, with water erosion. One of the ways to solve these problems is to replace maize with other plants suitable for these purposes. A possible alternative is the cultivation of multi-annual energy plants. One of them is also the Silphium perfoliatum L., which is sporadically cultivated in the Czech Republic. The aim of this study is to evaluate the production capabilities of the Silphium perfoliatum L. and to evaluate the possibilities of his introduction as an alternative in the cultivation of maize sets
