Switchgrass Biomass Yield and Fertilizer Requirements by Month of Harvest: Economic Consequences of Nutrient Translocation and Remobilization

If switchgrass harvest is delayed until after senescence, some nutrients will translocate to the plant’s crown and roots. Biomass yield and fertilizer requirements depend on harvest date. The objective is to determine switchgrass biomass yield, nutrient concentration in biomass, fertilizer requirements, and expected production cost by month of harvest.
