Projektbeschreibung:
At present maize is the predominant crop for biomass production. Due to its high percentage in crop rotation provoking undesirable environmental effects the demand for alternative crops for the production of herbal biomass is continuously increasing. Owing to its manifold ecosystem services, lupins could valuably contribute to a diversification of crop rotation. This research project compares Andean lupin (L. mutabilis) to white lupin (L. albus) and narrow-leafed lupin (L. angustifolius) regarding their efficiency in producing renewable energy and aims at the exploitation of lupin crops for bioenergy recovery and the associated enhancement of crop diversity in agriculture.
In addition to varieties of the Andean and the white lupin, fast growing material of the narrow-leafed lupin developed in the course of the JKI lupin research activities is to be tested for its biomass capability. The trials will be grown at two sowing times to assess the ability for main crop and catch crop (e. g. in succession of forage rye) use, respectively. Besides the commercial varieties of Andean lupin, a sample of plant genetic resources of L. mutabilis will be evaluated in the field to identify fast growing biomass types, and subsequently tested for their biomass performance, too. In addition to classical traits like biomass and total dry matter yield the attainable biogas and methane yields as well as the decisive ingredients are to be ascertained to appraise the capability of lupins for their bioenergy recovery. The project can contribute (1) to new and variegated crop rotations for bioenergy production, (2) to increased diversity in agricultural landscape and (3) to a sustainable energy supply.
