Switchgrass is a perennial grass native to North America, commonly found in prairies and open fields. It can grow up to 10 feet tall and has deep roots, making it drought-resistant and suitable for various soil types. Switchgrass is often used for erosion control, wildlife habitat, and as a bioenergy crop due to its high biomass yield. In addition to its ecological benefits, switchgrass is being researched as a sustainable source of biofuel. Its ability to thrive in marginal lands means it can be cultivated without competing with food crops, making it an attractive option for renewable energy production.
