Benchmark Analysis<br />
Table 12 to Table 15 below show the analyses of the performance of species at each KEFRI trial site. The<br />
average characteristics of species under cultivation within their natural range in Asia are used as a benchmark.<br />
The average weight <strong>and</strong> physical characteristics of the culm of the species in the trials are compared to data of<br />
the same species in Asia.<br />
It is important to draw attentions to the limitations of this method of analysis. The benchmark analysis only<br />
provides a basis for comparing the characteristics of the culm, but it does not, by itself, allow for any<br />
conclusions regarding the suitability of a species for a particular site.<br />
