Switchgrass
Abstract
Switchgrass is an erect, warm-season perennial whose native habitat originally included the prairies, open woods, brackish marches, and pinewoods. Ecotypes and cytotypes of switchgrass are classified as a single species. Switchgrass has two distinct ecotypes, lowland and upland. The basic breeding procedure used to develop the initial switchgrass cultivars capitalized on the between strain or population genetic variability. Herbage feeding insects such as grasshoppers are the primary insect pests affecting the biomass productivity of switchgrass. Switchgrass requires the establishment of a symbiotic relationship with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in its roots to become established and persist. Management of switchgrass for seed production is based on practices initially recommended by D. R. Cornelius the Great Plains, subsequent research in other areas of the USA, and on anecdotal results of seed producers. Grazing switchgrass seed fields early in the season reduced seedyields in the Midwest.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
