Biomass Yield to Nitrogen Response Functions for Four Candidate Biorefinery Feedstock Perennial Grass Species

Biomass yield to nitrogen response functions were determined for four perennial grass species. The species, nitrogen level, and harvest frequency that maximize expected net returns given the climate and soils of the U.S. Southern Plains were determined. For most combinations of biomass and nitrogen price, switchgrass is the optimal species.
