Overview of the different experimental treatments. For each of the three miscanthus genotypes, 30 plants were grown from rhizome material: 15 in Nu+ and 15 in Nu− compost. For six plants per genotype, watering was stopped 26 d after planting until SWC reached 15 %. The remaining six selected plants continued to receive water at 75 % SWC. After 30 d of water treatments, above-ground biomass was harvested for further analyses.
