Figure 2. Biomass yield of ‘BoMaster’ switchgrass as a function of defoliation management [one cut (1X; full season growth) or two cuts (2X; June/July and regrowth cut at end-of-season)] and harvest timing (October, November, or February) at the end of the growing season
The 2X approach showed less loss of leaf to the ground.
