Benefits of Short Rotation Coppice Willow
Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) willow is grown as a high biomass energy crop across the UK that can remain viable for between 25 and 30 years and can be harvested every two to three years, writes TheBioenergySite senior editor Chris Harris.

Production Practices to Help Reduce Ear Mold Risk in Corn
There may not be much corn growers can do to prevent the spread of ear molds and mycotoxins if weather conditions are right for development, as was the case in 2009. However, there are some production practices they can follow to help reduce the risk,...

Biofuel Crop Diversity Adds Value
Diverse biofuel plantings such as native prairie attract more beneficial insects than do single crops such as corn, Michigan State University scientists find.
