Yield and quality of cool-season perennial grasses for forage and biomass feedstocks in Northeast Colorado
… and rangeland restoration. It is estimated that biofuels could offset 30% of current fossil fuel use. Switchgrass, a C4 grass species, was chosen by the DOE as the model crop for cellulosic biofuel because of the plant's perennial nature, high water use efficiency, wide range of exploitable …

Effects of Biosolids Application and Harvest Frequency on Switchgrass Yield, Feedstock Quality, and Theoretical Ethanol Yield
… virgatum L.) is a promising bioenergy crop for biofuel production. However, the effects of biosolids application on biomass yield, nitrogen (N) concentration, feedstock quality and theoretical ethanol yield (TEY) are rarely reported in the literature. The objectives of this research were: 1) to …

Development of Sustainable Harvest Strategies for Cellulose-Based Biofuels: The Effect of Intensity and Season of Harvest on Cellulosic Feedstock and Upland Nesting Game Bird Production
… stands, (2) compare moisture concentrations and biofuel quality from spring and fall harvest plots, (3) compare the effects of a high- and low-intensity harvest on biomass yield (4) determine the effect of a stubble height (high-intensity, low-intensity, and a “no harvest” control) on nesting …
