Abstract

The article presented discusses the need to use plant biomass made of energy crops grown in marginal soils as an alternative energy source. Variability of biometric indicators of the plant vegetative parts (productivity elements) was experimentally established: stem quantity per area unit and stem height depending on the soil and weather conditions. Based on the five-year research, there was observed a significant influence of soil and climatic growing conditions (average daily air temperature; rainfall; soil fertility) on formation of crop energy productivity. Results showed that the variability of stem density and height; dry phytomass productivity of millet switchgrass and giant miscanthus during observed years depended on the studied factors. Correlation-regression analysis proved and characterized the influence of soil and climatic conditions during the growing season of energy crops on the yield of dry phytomass of millet switchgrass and giant miscanthus in the central part of the Ukraine forest-steppe. The impact proportion share of weather conditions and plant productivity elements on the level of energy crops yields was calculated.
