Abstract

The feasibility of the co-fermentation of sugar beet silage with maize silage within a
holistic energy strategy for a novel type greenhouse is investigated. Therefore, the influence of organic dry matter total solids (dTS) of sugar beet as part of a substrate blend with maize is analysed. A synergy effect and the advantages of co-fermentation of sugar beet with maize silage compared to mono-fermentation of sugar beet could be observed in the study.
