Short communication: performance of beef cows fed Kernza intermediate wheatgrass straw mixed with alfalfa haylage. [PDF]
Transl Anim SciAbstract Kernza intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium [Host] Barkworth & D.R. Dewey) is a novel dual-use perennial grain and forage crop with environmental and economic benefits for farmers. Perennial crop byproducts, such as Kernza straw, have been suggested as an alternative forage source in livestock systems. However,

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.

Practical recommendations for researchers engaging in on‐farm research
Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.Abstract Though on‐farm research is crucial for addressing agricultural needs, it presents challenges that can derail projects if not addressed. Unlike small plot or greenhouse studies, on‐farm research evaluates tradeoffs in real‐world systems, offers access to diverse environments, and relies on farmer–researcher collaboration.

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.Abstract Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) [Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D. R. Dewey] is a promising perennial grain candidate that The Land Institute has been directly domesticating since 2001. Grain from improved IWG can be sold under the trademark Kernza.
