Mechanical termination of a perennial grain crop minimally impacts soil structure, carbon and carbon dioxide emissions

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment
Introduction Mechanical termination of crops can negatively affect soil biological, chemical, and structural characteristics. Perennial crops do not require annual termination and can improve these same soil characteristics, which has catalysed interest ...

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

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

Productivity of intermediate wheatgrass responds more to local soil and climate factors than fertility treatments in the first establishment year

Frontiers in Agronomy
The intensive cultivation practices of annual cereal crops have been causing unprecedented degradation of natural resources. Perennial crops such as intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) could provide numerous benefits to address these issues, but there is still

Soybean Cyst Nematode Reproduction and Soybean Biomass: The Legacy of Soil Cropping Histories

PhytoFrontiers
The soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines, represents the most yield-limiting pathogen of soybean in North America. Although crop rotation serves as a common SCN management strategy, the influence of previous cropping history on nematode ...

Comparative life cycle assessment of perennial and annual crop production: impact of farming systems and management practices

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
The Intermediate Wheatgrass (IWG) Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey, marketed under the trade name Kernza® has been tested in France with a group of farmers since 2017. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a recognized methodology to

Performance, feed-sorting behavior, methane and carbon dioxide emissions, nitrogen balance, and nutrient digestibility of dairy heifers fed Kernza intermediate wheatgrass straw

Journal of Dairy Science
: Kernza straw (KS) is a high-fiber, low-energy byproduct of intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium [Host] Barkworth & D.R. Dewey) that may serve as an alternative forage to increase dietary fill and reduce the risk of over-conditioning in ...

Selective improvement of intermediate wheatgrass Kernza in terms of productivity: current status and prospects

Feeds and Feed Production
Purpose. The purpose of the study is to generalize the scientific principles and practical approaches to the selection improvement of intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium), also known as Kernza, according to a complex of productivity traits, as well as to outline priority areas for further research to increase the efficiency of the selection
