The objectives of this work were to evaluate the self-pollination as a tool in the elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum) breeding and to compare progenies of Pennisetum purpureum origined from different breeding strategies: self-pollination, intraspecific crossbreeds, and interspecific crossbreeds with Pennisetum glaucum. The experimental treatments were represented by the three fecundation forms: intraspecific crossbreed, interspecific crossbreed and self-pollination. A total of ten families originated from intraspecific crossbreed resulting in 160 progenies; two families originated from interspecific crossbreed resulting in 38 progenies, and […]
