Virginia fanpetals biomass is relatively suitable for ensiling when stem structure is damaged during harvest. Virginia fanpetals biomass is characterized by extensive lactic acid fermentation with a low proportion of volatile fatty acids (VFA). A microbiological evaluation confirmed the predominance of lactic acid bacteria and the presence of a small group of fungi. Ensiling effectively eliminated toxin-producing Aspergillus spp.
