Nutrition of Hybrid Willows for Bio-fuel Production
Seven different clones of willow grown as a potential bio-fuel crop were evaluated in their response to irrigation and N, P, K and S fertilization. After three growing seasons, prior to harvesting the plots for biomass measurements, seven stems per plot were be sampled and analyzed for N, P, Ca, Mg, Al, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, B, and Na concentrations. As well residual nutrient concentrations in the soil down to 60 cm (24 in) were assessed.
