PR-869: 2024-2025 Specialty Crops Research Report

Brent Arnoldussen, Cindy Finneseth, Rachel Rudolph, Daniel Becker, Christine Bradley, Kathryn Pettigrew, Martin Polo, Ginny Travis | January 9, 2026 (New)

Similar to the last compilation of reports (PR-832), this features work from the last two years. Additionally, readers will likely have noticed the name change from Fruit and Vegetable Research Report to Specialty Crops Research Report. With the addition of new faculty in the Department of Horticulture and the expansion of interest in cut flowers and ornamentals, we thought it appropriate to update the publication’s name. Readers will still find rigorous and interesting trial information and perhaps find something new they may want to trial on their own farms. Research was conducted by University of Kentucky faculty, staff, and students from the horticulture department, as well as faculty, staff, and students of Kentucky State University.

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a warm-season, perennial bunch-type grass native to the North American Tallgrass Prairie. It has been investigated as a renewable energy crop due to its high productivity across a wide geographic range including various environmental conditions and soil types. Switchgrass has also been used for erosion control, summer grazing in pasture and hay systems for cattle, native prairie restoration, wildlife habitat, fiber production, and as an ornamental grass.
