Abstrakt: The Far East population of Chinese silver grass ( Miscanthus sinensis Anderss.) was introduced in western Siberia. A variety with an altered root system structure and long shoots with leader buds was isolated. This variety rapidly colonizes soil-forming continuous and even cover without tussocks. The yield of dry biomass, containing about 40% high quality cellulose, is 10-15 t/ha/yr under common agricultural practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
