A new study looking at producing Miscanthus hybrids from seed has shown improvements and advancements in seed production, growing methods and agronomy. The study, entitled ‘Achieving hybridisation between Miscanthus species: Commercially-scalable methods to manipulate flowering synchronisation and maximise seed yield’… Read More »New study advances Miscanthus seed production capability
A government-funded team of researchers is exploring the potential of crops like Miscanthus, willow, and alder as alternative sources of income for farmers. The UK-wide initiative assesses the viability of biomass crops to improve farm revenues and environmental sustainability. As… Read More »Biomass crop research aims to boost rural economy
Miscanthus soil sampling has begun for the CHCx3 project, led by NIAB. Terravesta is a partner in the initiative, which aims to standardise carbon measurements across a range of crops, including Miscanthus. Our R&D manager, Jason, and field technician, Alex,… Read More »Underground carbon assessment kicks off for Miscanthus crops
OMENZ is £3.3 million government-funded project which will facilitate more planting of Miscanthus, and partners met this month to present their findings 42% of the way through. The project will deliver improvements on the entire Miscanthus establishment process, including approaches… Read More »Miscanthus upscaling project partners showcase findings at halfway (ish) mark
A new research project aims to help UK farmers and growers target net zero and build farming resilience through diversifying their arable and forage cropping. Miscanthus specialist, Terravesta, is a partner in the project, which aims to develop a standardised… Read More »New research set to explore carbon capture with Miscanthus, and other crops
