Handbook of Bioenergy Crops is a unique reference and guide, with extensive coverage of more than eighty of the main bioenergy crop species. For each it gives a brief description, outlines the ecological requirements, methods of propagation, crop management, rotation and production, harvesting, handling and storage, processing and utilization, then finishes with selected refe 606 $aEnergy crops 606 $aAgriculture and energy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnergy crops. 615 0$aAgriculture and energy. 676 $a333.95/39 700 $aEl Bassam$b Nasir.$0627287 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458901203321 996 $aHandbook of bioenergy crops$92106618 997 $aUNINA
