Grain of the Future: Consumer Demand for Bread Made of Sustainable Perennial Grain Intermediate Wheatgrass

Agricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG), also known as Kernza, is a perennial grain crop with recognized environmental benefits, including improved water quality, increased soil carbon storage, and enhanced biodiversity. However, despite these advantages, consumer demand for IWG‐based products remains poorly understood, limiting its market potential ...

Fall grazing improves the performance of Kernza intermediate wheatgrass as a dual‐purpose crop

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Kernza intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) [Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey] is a perennial grain and forage crop with novel dual‐use potential. Grazing IWG forage and/or intercropping IWG with legumes can increase total annual forage yields, but the effect of grazing timing on grain yield needs to be understood to maximize ...

Regenerative Agronomic Approaches: Technological, Biochemical and Rheological Characterization of Four Perennial Wheat Lines Grown in Italy

Agronomy
Cereals are the basis of the human diet, and among them, after rice and corn, wheat is the most cultivated in the world. Drought, conflicts, and high prices affect food security in many countries. The CHANGE-UP project funded by the PRIMA program aims at

Effect of Nitrogen Treatment on the Physico‐Chemical and Functional Properties Intermediate Wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium) Grown in Different Locations

Cereal Chemistry, Volume 103, Issue 1, Page 19-29, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG), a new perennial crop, is being explored for food applications; however, nitrogen application effects on its properties have not been investigated. This study evaluated the effects of applying 90 kg ha−1 of nitrogen in spring or fall seasons on the properties of IWG grown in Minnesota and

Evaluation of BugBox, a software platform for AI‐assisted bioinventories of arthropods

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 1, Page 192-203, January 2026.
The BugBox artificial intelligence platform performed reliably on coarse biodiversity analysis of agrobiont arthropods, even while its models were still being developed and trained. This gives scientists the ability to conduct large‐scale bioinventories rapidly, to inform growers and policymakers on environmental issues in a timely fashion.

Distinguishing Abiotic from Biotic Stressors in Perennial Grain Crops: Nutrient Deficiency Symptoms in Silphium integrifolium and Thinopyrum intermedium

Agronomy
Perennial grains have been proposed as a soil-healthy alternative to annual grains. Intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium), whose seed is currently sold under the trade name Kernza®, and silflower (Silphium integrifolium), which is in the early

Leveraging high‐dimensional seed colorspace in phenomic selection models for herbaceous perennial crops

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract Herbaceous perennial crops, which only recently entered the domestication pipeline, offer the potential of ecological benefits in agricultural systems but remain underdeveloped, partly due to slow breeding cycles. Early‐stage phenomic selection, the process of using high‐dimensional secondary traits to predict target traits, may accelerate ...

Managing nitrogen fertility and stand density for sustaining Kernza intermediate wheatgrass yields

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract Kernza intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) [Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey] is a promising perennial grain and forage crop, but experiences grain yield decline, potentially due to limited nitrogen (N) and stand overcrowding. We evaluated the effects of N fertilization and stand thinning on grain and forage yield, weed biomass ...

Physicochemical Characterization of Whole and Split Perennial Baki Bean Flours

Legume Science, Volume 7, Issue 3, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Perennial grains, such as perennial Baki bean (Onobrychis spp.), offer promising solutions for sustainable agriculture, addressing issues like soil degradation and water quality associated with annual cropping systems. As a perennial pulse derived from sainfoin, Baki can improve soil health and offer a novel source of protein for human ...
