Abstract

A perennial wheatgrass called Kernza perennial grains was developed by the Land Institute to harness the benefits of perenniality on soil health in a commercial farming system. This study compared bacterial and fungal soil microbiomes surrounding 1-year-old Kernza, 4-year-old Kernza, and 6-week-old winter wheat in Hudson Valley, New York.
