A major milestone for Miscanthus.

The first commercial planting of seed-based Miscanthus plugs in Germany marks an important step forward for the crop and its future across the UK and Europe.

This achievement builds on more than two decades of research, breeding and innovation, demonstrating how collaborative R&D can deliver practical solutions for growers and help scale low-carbon biomass production.

This is a milestone worth celebrating, and an exciting glimpse of what's to come!

Miscanthus is a lucrative option for growers looking to reduce inputs, make better use of lower-performing land, and secure long-term returns.

As interest in Miscanthus continues to grow, now’s the time to push for greater recognition and support for the sector.

As part of our Grower Stories series, we visited Colin to see how the new crop is establishing, and the early signs are promising, with Athena emerging faster than his long-established Miscanthus giganteus crop. 🌱
