- Abstract
- Lines of cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L. var. altilis DC suitable for biomass
production are under selection at CNR - ISAFOM Catania, with the main objective
of characterizing ashes, chlorine and alkali, that are the main compounds
responsible of combustion chamber corrosion. In this work one new line of
cultivated cardoon was evaluated, selected for the low amount of ashes, to be used
for heating. This trial was carried out at Syracuse, South Sicily, in 2007-2009
growing seasons. The selected genotype Line C5 was grown, under low inputs
management, using a plant density of 8 plants m-2. At harvest, August 2009, on
twenty plants for each of the three agronomic replications the number of heads, the
fresh biomass weight and its partitioning (leaves, stalks, capitula and achenes) were
determined. Grain lipid substances were extracted and quantified. The sample of
leaves, stalks, heads and defatted flour of achenes were at first chipped and the
content of dry matter, ashes, chlorine, sulphur and alkali evaluated. On average
biomass production per plant was 175 g plant-1 DM, leaves represented 24%, stalks
25%, heads 48% and achenes about 3% on aboveground biomass. The plant dry
matter content was about 970 g kg-1 fw, nitrogen 90 g kg-1 DM, and ashes 40% g kg-1
DM chlorine, sulphur and alkali resulted very low with 3.5, 3.0 and 2.7 g kg-1 DM
respectively. The oil content of the grain was 235 g kg-1 DM. The present results
show that the Line C5 is characterized by a low amount in ashes, even if other
studies are necessary, in different environments and under different agricultural
managements, to confirm the present results. (literal)
