Studying these long-term plots will aid in the development of switchgrass as a crop to produce biofuel that could be used in vehicles. The yield measurements taken during this harvest in particular will allow us to study the accumulation of virus and insect pests that affect switchgrass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We could not have done this harvest without help from Kurt Thelen&#8217;s group, and we especially appreciate Todd Martin for running the harvester.
