In the US, this crop is of great demand due to its beneficial properties and recycling of energy that can be utilized for many purposes. Shrub willow is not too common in people but it is a great source of bioenergy. The quality and uniqueness of this crop this that it gives us a kind of wooden structure, after being harvested it transforms into little slices of wood that can be used to create bioenergy in different forms like biofuel, biochar, animal bedding and many other.
A new research:
The scientists and experts researched on marketable land to have a clear idea about it’s side effects, loopholes and high points of this profitable crop. Armen Kemanian was the major and key member who conducted this research and formulate worth noting strategies to help industrialists and relevant people who are involved in knowing and harvesting this bioenergy crop. This research was to ferret out plants, seeds and harvesting process of growing this crop effectively. Involved factors and other details that can help further investigation. Kemanian believed that growing shrub willow is not that easy. Furthermore, it is costly as compare to other crops and a precise decision making with a concerned plan is required to avoid losses. This crop can be well-suited to winter areas and moderate summer climate. Other same quality crops can be well-suited in chilling summer or moderate winter temperature as according to it’s type and characteristics.
Benefits of shrub willow:
As we have discussed earlier that this crop is beneficial for bioenergy purposes. Moreover, it is more capable to consume a great amount of carbon which is healthier for human health and environment because carbon is not good for us. It is dangerous for us when it is in carbon dioxide form, and shrub crop is relevant for this purpose as it converts carbon dioxide into carbon making it non-harmful for human beings. This crop also contains some extraordinary characteristics which helps you to get prevent from pesticides. These features are highly important in crops for effective breed and continuous growth. Their high quality breed is more attractive towards some pests that will decrease the growth of pests. It is also a different and advantageous approach by Kemanian.
Different approaches of shrub willow:
Shrub willow unlike other traditional and cereal crops doesn’t grow every year but they take approx 2 to 4 years because of it’s unique nature which don’t support a number of varieties to grow simultaneously. In it’s plantation, one thing is worth considerable that is planning because this crop gives you more lifecycle so it is important to perform it’s operations with effectiveness and versatility. The most cost incurred in the overall occurred cost on this crop is on it’s harvesting according to Kemanian research study. It’s approaches towards plantation and planning are quite complex as there are different measures and tools to analyze it’s growth and results normally we prefer those areas where there is high expected growth yield but in such case, this is not the only measure to plan entire situation. One another approach is to design and structure the field in such a way that supports harvesting process and makes it convenient.
Shrub willow can consume a great quantity of carbon produced by plants and leaves, this crop is enough capable to transform negative energy into a constructive renewable one. Kemanian rephrased that as per their research especially in half commercial areas, the probability is lower than actual. Moreover, it is suitable to grow in normal soil in which there will be a maximum chance of it’s effective growth and overall cost will be minimized as compare to rocky soil which doesn’t allow seeds to grow well and never provides expected results.
Worthwhile outcome:
According to the valid facts came out from research, the only purpose of this valuable crop is not that it is easily harvest able and farmers need to get this point as soon as possible that they should also focus on it’s worthy impact on environmental growth and stability. We can make constructive use of it for the betterment of our environment by utilizing latest technology and benefits extracted from this crop. It can be used for generating maximum long term profit through enhancing environment that helps in it’s growth. Last but not the least, the synergies can be suitably utilized which we get through animal and crop production for many causes.
