Why choose our Planting Material?

MARKET LEADERS

With 12 years of experience in the bioenergy sector, Zelena Biomasna Energija d.o.o. stands as a trusted name in the production of elite Miscanthus Giganteus planting material, commercial biomass production, and processing of organic biomass products. Our small team of 6 dedicated professionals brings a collective 50 years of expertise in cultivation and innovation, ensuring the highest standards in the industry.

Over the years, we have successfully established numerous Miscanthus plantations, leveraging our specialized machinery and custom nutrient cocktails designed specifically for Miscanthus. Our pioneering spirit has led us to develop proprietary technologies and perfect our cultivation methods, setting new benchmarks in the field.

RHIZOME ORIGIN

Our Miscanthus Giganteus rhizomes originate from a meticulous process starting in the laboratory, where a single virus-free cell of Miscanthus Giganteus Clone Illinois undergoes micropropagation to produce in-vitro seedlings. These seedlings are cultivated in sterile, disease-free environments and gradually adapted to open ground conditions within our greenhouses. Once fully adapted, the rhizomes are planted in open fields. After three cultivating seasons, we harvest the rhizomes for our customers using specialized equipment, ensuring each batch is fully traceable to its disease-free parent stock.

This controlled and rigorous process ensures genetic purity and exceptional quality. Unlike rhizomes from other producers, which can be likened to common individuals prone to disease, our rhizomes are like gods—free from defects and diseases, ensuring superior performance.

The result is a higher germination rate, rapid maturation, and minimal losses. Our rhizomes also exhibit better survivability in colder climates, making them suitable for a wider range of environments and ensuring consistent and reliable yields essential for large-scale agricultural biomass projects and bioenergy production.

TRACEABILITY

Our Miscanthus Giganteus rhizomes undergo a rigorous certification and traceability process, overseen by internationally recognized surveyors such as SGS and Bureau Veritas. These organizations certify, inspect, and document every critical process involved in managing our plantations. The traceability report system ensures that each step, from the initial propagation of rhizomes to their final delivery, is thoroughly monitored and documented.

This certification process provides assurance of the genetic purity and quality of our planting material. It involves detailed records of the origins of our rhizomes, the conditions under which they are grown, and the methods used in their cultivation and harvesting. By adhering to these strict standards, we guarantee the reliability and high performance of our Miscanthus Giganteus rhizomes.

By choosing our certified Miscanthus Giganteus rhizomes, you are investing in a product that meets the highest standards of quality and traceability. This not only enhances the productivity and sustainability of your agricultural operations but also supports the broader goal of promoting environmentally responsible farming practices.

NON-INVASIVE

Our Miscanthus Giganteus Clone Illinois rhizomes are uniquely non-invasive due to their sterile nature. This plant is a triploid hybrid, which means it possesses three sets of chromosomes and does not produce viable seeds. Consequently, it cannot propagate through seed dispersal, eliminating concerns over uncontrolled spread.

Why Miscanthus x Giganteus clon Illinois?

INTRODUCTION

MxG Clone Illinois is a leading variety of the Miscanthus giganteus crop, celebrated for its global prevalence, exceptional productivity, and preferred status among biomass crops. Developed meticulously from 2002 to 2016 as part of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) within the Billion-Ton Bioeconomy program, this clone represents a significant advance in agricultural biotechnology aimed at enhancing biomass production. Importantly, it is a non-invasive species, ensuring environmental safety and sustainability.

BIOMASS YIELD

Thanks to its C4 photosynthesis capability, Miscanthus X Giganteus utilizes resources efficiently, even in nutrient-poor conditions. It shows resilience to pests and diseases, resulting in dependable yields. At peak maturity, typically around the fourth year, Miscanthus X Giganteus can produce up to 28 tons of dry biomass per hectare annually, with potential for even higher yields reported.

ORGANIC FARMING

Cultivating Miscanthus allows farmers to potentially achieve organic land status, increasing land value. From the second year onward, Miscanthus plantations generally require no weed control or fertilizers, aligning with organic farming principles.

VERSATILITY

The chemical composition of Miscanthus biomass makes it versatile for producing various products, from poultry bedding to nitrocellulose for gunpowder. This versatility enhances its economic and environmental value, making Miscanthus x Giganteus a preferred choice for sustainable agriculture and industrial applications.
