Data from: Switchgrass cultivar, yield, and nutrient removal responses to harvest timing

    Objectives for this study were to compare switchgrass yields from 2010–2011 on eight widely used and experimental upland and lowland genotype (whole plot) at two locations in Tennessee, to determine: (i) which harvest timing (split-plot) provides maximum yield; (ii) effects of harvest timing (mid-Sep, Oct, Nov, and late Oct) on overall total P and K removal; and, (iii) how results are affected by cultivar.

    Sustainable Corn CAP Research Data (USDA-NIFA Award No. 2011-68002-30190)

      The Sustainable Corn CAP (Cropping Systems Coordinated Agricultural Project: Climate Change, Mitigation, and Adaptation in Corn-based Cropping Systems) was a multi-state transdisciplinary project supported by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (Award No. 2011-68002-30190). Research experiments were located through the U.S. Corn Belt and examined farm-level adaptation practices for corn-based cropping systems to current and predicted impacts of climate change.
