Agriculture, 2021 Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) may benefit soil fertility in crop rotations. To investigate termination strategies, i.e., autumn ploughing (AP), autumn harrowing (AH) and spring harrowing (SH) on a five-year-old IWG stand, a pilot study was performed ...

Simulating the effect of perennialized cropping systems on nitrate-N losses using the SWAT model
Frontiers in Agronomy, 2023 Several newly released crop varieties, including the perennial intermediate wheatgrass (grain marketed as Kernza®), and the winter hardy oilseed crop camelina, have been developed to provide both economic return for farmers and reduced nutrient losses ...

Rooting for Microbes: Impacts of Plant Breeding on the Kernza Rhizosphere
Plant and SoilAbstract Aims Kernza (Thinopyrum intermedium) is among the first perennial grain crops ever bred and has the potential to address challenges associated with annual agriculture, in part due to its robust microbial partnerships and soil health benefits.

Understanding environmental adaptation in intermediate wheatgrass
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG; Thinopyrum intermedium) is a perennial grain crop that offers many environmental benefits through extensive root systems in addition to food production. IWG's distribution across broad environmental gradients in Eurasia provides a model system for studying climate adaptation genetics essential for developing ...

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 5, September/October 2026.Abstract Accurate estimation of seed yield in perennial grains like Thinopyrum intermedium (intermediate wheatgrass [IWG]) remains a challenge due to high interannual and spatial variability of this important trait. We evaluated the potential of before‐harvest unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)‐derived multispectral vegetation indices to predict IWG seed ...
