The research was carried out in the experimental area of the Department of Field Crops, Faculty of Agriculture, Ege University between November 2019 and February 2021. Three different grass genotypes and two harvest dates (autumn and winter) were evaluated which was carried out in three replications according to the completely randomized block design. Some parameters were evaluated in the study such as number of tillers, plant height, stem diameter, biomass yield and ash content. While the highest biomass yield was obtained from the giant king grass plant harvested in autumn, the lowest ash content was obtained from the miscanthus plant harvested in winter.</p>}, number={1}, journal={ISPEC Journal of Agricultural Sciences}, author={ÖZDOĞAN ÇAVDAR, Tuğçe and GEREN, Hakan}, year={2023}, month={Mar.}, pages={15–26} }
