Title: Biomass Production of Prairie Cordgrass (Spartina pectinata Link.) Using Urea and Kura Clover (Trifolium ambiguum Bieb.) as a Source of Nitrogen

Abstract

Abstract Optimizing nitrogen (N) management is an important factor for sustainable perennial biomass systems. However, N application is costly, both financially and environmentally. Our objectives were to determine: (1) N rate and plant spacing effects on yield and yield components of prairie cordgrass swards and (2) fertilizer N replacement value (FNRV) of kura clover in prairie cordgrass-kura clover binary mixtures. Plots were established in Illinois, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, USA, in 2010. Kura clover was transplanted on 30-cm centers in all treatments in which it was a component; prairie cordgrass seedlings were transplanted within the kura clover on 60- and 90-cm centers. Monoculture prairie cordgrass stands were established at the same population densities of mixed stands and fertilized with 0, 75, 150, or 225 kg N ha ^-1 . Biomass was harvested in the autumn from 2011 to 2013. N (urea), year, plant spacing, and year × plant spacing affected prairie cordgrass production at all locations. Prairie cordgrass yield increased with N application, but the response varied by location. N application tended to increase prairie cordgrass tiller density and consistently increased tiller mass. Prairie cordgrass yield with 0 N was equal to or less than the yield of prairie cordgrass/kura clover mixtures at allmore »« less

Biomass Production of Prairie Cordgrass (Spartina pectinata Link.) Using Urea and Kura Clover (Trifolium ambiguum Bieb.) as a Source of Nitrogen

Journal Article Kim, SungUn ; Albrecht, Kenneth ; Sheaffer, Craig ; ... - BioEnergy Research

Abstract Optimizing nitrogen (N) management is an important factor for sustainable perennial biomass systems. However, N application is costly, both financially and environmentally. Our objectives were to determine: (1) N rate and plant spacing effects on yield and yield components of prairie cordgrass swards and (2) fertilizer N replacement value (FNRV) of kura clover in prairie cordgrass-kura clover binary mixtures. Plots were established in Illinois, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, USA, in 2010. Kura clover was transplanted on 30-cm centers in all treatments in which it was a component; prairie cordgrass seedlings were transplanted within the kura clover on 60-more »« less

Intercropping kura clover with prairie cordgrass mitigates soil greenhouse gas fluxes

Journal Article Abagandura, Gandura Omar ; Sekaran, Udayakumar ; Singh, Shikha ; ... - Scientific Reports

Prairie cordgrass (PCG) (Spartina pectinataLink) has a high tolerance to soil salinity and waterlogging, therefore, it can thrive on marginal lands. Optimizing the nitrogen (N) input is crucial to achieving desirable biomass production of PCG without negatively impacting the environment. Thus, this study was based on the hypothesis that the use of legumes such as kura clover (Trifolium ambiguumM. Bieb.) (KC) as an intercrop with PCG can provide extra N to the crop reducing the additional N fertilizer and mitigating soil surface greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Specific objective of the study was to assess the impact of PCG managed withmore »« less

Competition for /sup 15/N labelled ammonium between Trifolium subterraneum L. and Lolium multiflorium L. when grown in a mixture

Thesis/Dissertation Munoz Espinoza, A E

Grasses and legumes are often grown in association in pastures because total herbage yield and forage quality is often higher than a monoculture grass sward. The competitive ability of the forage species for mineral N influences the stability of the mixed pasture. Mt. Barker subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) Gulf ryegrass (Lolium multiflorium L.) were grown in pure stands and in mixtures in 3.8 I pots filled with exploded vermiculite to quantity the competition for applied mineral nitrogen (N). The isotope dilution technique using /sup 15/NH/sub 4/ was used. Also, the effect of increasing rates of fertilizer N on nodulationmore »« less
Impact of warm‐season grass management on feedstock production on marginal farmland in Central Illinois

Journal Article Zumpf, Colleen ; Lee, Moon‐Sub ; Thapa, Santanu ; ... - Global Change Biology. Bioenergy

Abstract The production of dedicated energy crops on marginally productive cropland is projected to play an important role in reaching the US Billion Ton goal. This study aimed to evaluate warm‐season grasses for biomass production potential under different harvest timings (summer [H1], after killing frost [H2], or alternating between two [H3]) and nitrogen (N) fertilizer rates (0, 56, and 112 kg N/ha) on a wet marginal land across multiple production years. Six feedstocks were evaluated including Miscanthus x giganteus , two switchgrass cultivars ( Panicum virgatum L .), prairie cordgrass ( Spartina pectinata Link), and two polycultures including a mixture of bigmore »« less

Legume Addition to Perennial Warm‐Season Grass Swards Increases Harvested Biomass

Journal Article Jakubowski, Andrew R. ; Casler, Michael D. ; Jackson, Randall D. - Crop Science

The adoption of perennial warm‐season grass crops for bioenergy production faces significant social, economic, and agronomic challenges. The inclusion of legumes in warm‐season grass swards may increase productivity, reduce weed pressure and the need for fertilizer inputs, and allow farmers greater management flexibility. The objectives of this study were (i) to evaluate whether the overseeding of red clover ( Trifolium pratense L.) in warm‐season grass swards can improve biomass yields and reduce weed cover, (ii) to determine if biomass yield gains arise from increased N availability or the biomass production of the legume crop, and (iii) to determine whether switchgrassmore »« less
