This study estimates the farm-gate breakeven price of switchgrass relative to wheat in Oklahoma. The breakeven price of … switchgrass is determined for two situations: when external consequences are ignored and when the environment costs of changes in … the farm-gate breakeven price of switchgrass from the internal cost only perspective is higher than the cost if the value …

Switchgrass for bioenergy production will require substantial storage. This study evaluated costs of alternative baling … and on-farm storage systems. Rectangular bales minimize cost if switchgrass is processed immediately after harvest …. However, round bales minimize cost if switchgrass is stored under cover for 200 days before transporting to the biorefinery …

and phosphorus applications to growing switchgrass produced in phosphorus-deficient soils. The objective of this study was … and the economic variables specified. Results showed that, on average over site-years, switchgrass yield increases from 10 … suggest that phosphorus-deficient soils do not seem to have the same impact on switchgrass yield and profitability as they do …

Current study analyzed the socio-economic factors that impact farmers’ willingness to grow switchgrass and Miscanthus …

stover, wheat straw, switchgrass, and forest residues as well as endogenous crop prices. Our scenarios indicate that there is …

This paper describes research to create a national database of switchgrass supply as part of the biomass program … launched by the Department of Energy. The paper provides an estimate of county level switchgrass yield data for the state of … approach of ratio calculation and estimation is used to predict the switchgrass yield of one soil type by comparing it with the …

The low efficiency of feedstock storage and transportation hinders commercialization of a switchgrass-based biofuel … industry although the feedstock has various environmental benefits. This study develops a sustainable switchgrass supply chain … biorefinery, plantation area, and the type of land converted to switchgrass are crucial to trade-off relation between industrial …

nutrient management strategy for producing switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) feedstock do not consider agronomic and subsequent …-term, economically sustainable harvest system and corresponding rates of N, P and K for producing switchgrass feedstock in the southern … nutrient concentration levels calculated from the switchgrass forage samples collected in the study. For a farm-gate feedstock …
