“…The analysis of the impact of the applied doses of mineral nitrogen fertilisation (40, 80, and 120 kg•ha −1 ) showed that it had a significant effect on the thickness of shoots of RCG plants, and the increase in shoot thickness was by 5.4%, 7.1%, and 10.9%, respectively, compared to that of non-nitrogen-fertilised plants. As indicated by other studies [39,48,49], habitat conditions and nutrient availability have a positive effect on the morphology of RCG, e.g., the length of leaves, shoots, and panicles increases. Morphological features can be changed by the method of cultivation.…”

“…The average shoot lengths during studies (Table 3) were slightly longer than in the case of the RCG cultivation (avg. 102-129 cm depending on the diversity of phenotypic features) on Humic Gleysol in Quebec (Canada) [48]. In spite of the presence of ample water due to soil type and higher precipitation levels, the shorter and colder growing season, along with the harsher winters characteristic of Quebec's continental climate, may have limited plant growth compared to the transitional temperate climate found in the Baltic countries [49].…”

“…The inflorescence length of RCG is from 7 to 40 cm [47], most often 8 to 12 cm [39,48,50]. The assessment of the length of RCG inflorescence indicates that they were dependent on the studied factors (Table 5).…”

“…PCA analysis (Figure 3) suggests that the seed yield of RCG in this research may be influenced by climatic conditions, with higher rainfall and temperature potentially exerting a positive impact on seed yield. The yield of PG seeds depends on the species, species variety, applied agrotechnical operations, or weather conditions that affect their growth and development, as evidenced by the high correlation coefficients of hydrothermal indices with the number of generative shoots [39,48]. The increase in the production of vegetative parts of RCG is associated with a reduction in the yield of generative parts and seeds [39].…”

Reed canary grass (RCG) is a native perennial grass with a wide range of uses that naturally occurs in moist habitats. The conducted research indicates the possibilities of RCG cultivation outside natural, humid habitats in monoculture on sandy soils in temperate climates to obtain biomass and seeds. The influence of two factors was analysed: (1) fertilisation with compost from urban greenery in doses of 0, 10, and 20 Mg·ha−1 and (2) mineral nitrogen fertilisation in doses of 0, 40, 80, and 120 kg·ha−1. Compost fertilisation (10 and 20 Mg·ha−1) increased dry matter yields in all years of the study, by 12.1% and 41.0%, respectively. Also, nitrogen fertilisation in doses of 40, 80, and 120 kg·ha−1 increased dry matter yield by 26.8%, 41.6%, and 65.0%, respectively. When harvesting RCG plants for energy biomass at their stage of full maturity, a significant seed yield of 242 to 600 kg·ha−1 can also be obtained in the first three years, while in the fourth year of use, the seed yield was almost three times lower (90–158 kg·ha−1). The obtained results indicate that, in sandy soils, the use of compost fertilisation in RCG cultivation can partially or entirely replace mineral fertilisation and ensure high and stable yields. An additional benefit may be the achievement of a high seed yield in the initial years of cultivation. The use of organic fertilisers and the independence from mineral fertilisers can significantly increase the profitability of bioenergy crops.

“…Although Wrobel et al ( 2009 ) have shown the potential for improvement in seed retention, in Europe no shattering resistant variety is cultivated. Reed canary grass has a high biomass yield potential and is adapted to dry and wet growing conditions.…”
