Comment:
Harvested the switchgrass olnly in the GLBRC IL EBI Study, all replications. In 2013 the switchgrass plots had two weights recorded. One side of the plot was fertilized and the other side of the plots was not fertilized. The plots were harvested so that a plot weight was recorded for the fertilized and non-fertilized plot sides. Harvested with JD 7330 tractor using the 7.5 ft wide Kemper head and Wintersteiger biomass harvester weighing system. The middle 7.5 ft of each plot was harvested. Plot weight were obtained from the on-board FRS Harvest Master computer weighing system, by Juniper Systems. Cutting height of plant stubble was 5 inches. Grab samples from each rep was placed in paper bags weighed for wet weight and placed in plant dryer and reweighed to determine percent moisture for each treatment and replication. Remaining plot area was harvested on April 11, 2014. Miscanthus was not harvested until April 11, 2014; the group from IL came in the fall of 2013 to harvest quadrants of miscanthus by hand. We delayed the machine harvest until they came and harvested the quadrants by hand.
