Highlights Higher yield especially to aquic soils comparing to other locations worldwide indicates a very promising crop for biomass production. Average dry biomass yield of 18 Mg ha⿿1 with supplementary irrigation (250 mm) which is higher than other crops (e.g. corn). Maximum growth rate of 390 kg ha⿿1 day⿿1 indicates a high change in dryweight over summer time. Organ partitioning rates: 19⿿22, 68⿿71 & 10⿿12% for leaf-, stem- & flower/total were not effect by irrigation and fertilization management showing the stable quality of biomass. Highest leaf area index of 7.59 which leads to higher growth and photosynthetic rates.
