0PI 704577'Independence'Panicum virgatum L. Illinois, United StatesS92024DEVELOPEDIndependence switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) was characterized by rapid establishment, robust seedling growth, and the capacity to achieve peak production by the second year. Independence is well-adapted to USDA hardiness zones 5b to 7b. In field experiments conducted from 2016 to 2017, averaged over seven locations and all years, Independence annually yielded 13 Mg ha-1 of biomass, outperforming 'Cave-in-Rock' by 25%, 'Liberty' by 7%, 'Shawnee' by 25%, 'Summer' by 53%, and Sunburst by 78%. In wet marginal sites in Illinois from 2020 to 2023, Independence exhibited an average biomass yield of 12 Mg ha-1, outperforming Shawnee by 31%, Liberty by 27%, and 'Kanlow' by 19%, indicating its potential use on less productive land for annual crops. Independence was publicly released by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in October 2021. Syn2 seed was produced and will be maintained by the University of Illinois.2165899PI 704577
