    Abstract

    In collaboration with Lantmännen Lantbruk we have tested new varieties of reed canary grass in three field experiments: Two in Jämtland and one in Småland. A comparison between autumn harvest and spring harvest was also done. Spring harvest, where the biomass is left on the field over winter, is the established harvest method for reed canary grass grown for fuel. The new varieties had good yields in all experiments. One variety has now been tested for commercialization by Lantmännen Lantbruk. The comparisons between autumn harvest and spring harvest showed that there are no obvious differences in how sensitive the varieties are to spring cutting. However there seem to be differences in how much biomass is lost during the winter. The percentage of fertile shoots in the biomass differed between varieties some years, but there was no variety with consistently high percentage of fertile shoots and no correlation between shoot morphology and biomass harvest.
