Sugar beet pulp (SBP) as received has a fairly high moisture content of 75–85%, which makes SBP storage a challenge. Ensilage was studied over 90days and was found to effectively preserve SBP without lactic acid bacterium inoculation. Higher packing density yielded a slightly better silage...

Four saline crops [athel (Tamarix aphylla L), eucalyptus (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), Jose Tall Wheatgrass (Agropyron elongatum), and Creeping Wild Ryegrass (Leymus triticoides)] that are used in farms for salt uptake from soil and drainage irrigation water have the potential for fuel ethanol...
