How does Napier cut age change methane yield?
sourced
As Napier matures, tonnage rises but lignin climbs and digestibility falls, so methane per tonne declines. The practical window is roughly 70-90 days, at 23-30% dry matter. Cut at 50 days it is mostly water; left past 120 days it is lignin-rich and hard to digest.
