Description:
There are many potential switchgrass and big bluestem varieties to choose from when establishing new stands. This includes multiple lowland switchgrass cultivars which are less cold tolerant but have higher yield.
To test promising new grass cultivars, Association of Warm Season Grass Producers (AWSGP) established replicated trials of eight switchgrass cultivars across three farm fields to determine performance.
