The cell wall components and energy value of Triticum spelta l. straw

Abstract

The genus Triticum is the most important among the cultivated plants essential to human nutrition and for its spreading throughout the world. It is comprising biological species at the diploid, tetraploid, and hexaploid levels. Spelt wheat Triticum spelta is currently a topic of great interest for researchers. The main objective of this research was to evaluate cell wall components and the energy potential of spelt wheat straw collected in an experimental field of the Institute of Genetics, Physiology and Plant Protection of Moldova State University The cell wall components have been determined by NIRS technique PERTEN DA 7200 of the Research and Development Institute for Grassland Braşov, Romania and energy indices of biomass in the Laboratory of Biosolid Fuel of Techical University of Moldova.It has been determined that collected spelt wheat straw contained 932 g/kg dry matter.
