Effect of maturity on the mineral content of Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum)
The effect of maturity on the mineral content of Bana and French varieties of Napier grass was assessed during the wet and dry seasons. The mineral content declined significantly with maturity except for Co. The effect of variety was significant for Ca, P, K, Fe and Mn. Season significantly influenc...
