Use of winter rye for production of biogas

Abstract

The purpose. To determine suitability of grades and hybrids of winter rye for production of alternative kinds of fuel. Methods. Field, laboratory, statistical. Results. Variability in productivity of green and dry mass, content of dry matter and exit of biogas depending on genotype, phases of growth of a plant and hydrothermal conditions of vegetation is established. In phase of shooting according to productivity of green material they selected 1 sample (26,7 t / hectare), to phase of swelling — 5 samples with productivity of 31,2 – 35,7 t/hectare. Conclusions. Grades and hybrids of winter rye of domestic selection provide lump of biomass with high exit of biogas for a unit of the area. But it is necessary for Ukraine to create power hybrids of winter rye with stably high productivity of green mass and resistance to adverse conditions of vegetation.
