Harvest Time Optimization for Combustion Quality of Different Miscanthus Genotypes across Europe

Harvest Time Optimization for Combustion Quality of Different Miscanthus Genotypes across Europe

Delayed harvest can improve the quality of miscanthus biomass for combustion and enhance the long-term sustainability of the crop, despite accompanying yield losses. The aim of this study is to identify the optimal harvesting time, which can deliver improved biomass quality for combustion of novel m...
