Description	The establishment of vegetation on sites with contamination to improve soil quality, reduce risk, and produce a biomass product depends on many local conditions. Site characterization results, remediation goals, local markets for biomass products, soil properties, climate, temperature, annual and seasonal precipitation, past experience at similar sites, and availability of soil amendments are some aspects to consider. This chapter addresses the establishment of Miscanthus and its application when growing in contaminated soil. Plant selection and breeding of Miscanthus is reviewed briefly. Water is very important for the establishment of Miscanthus, and issues related to rainfall during the first weeks and months are reviewed. Plant nutrition and soil amendments affect growth and biomass yield. The time of harvest for Miscanthus affects nitrogen use because much more nitrogen is removed if the harvest is in the fall compared to winter harvest. The effects of soil amendments on the fate of contaminants and plant growth are included because the knowledge of how to obtain beneficial results by adding soil amendments has advanced significantly. Improved results have been reported for Miscanthus production when plant growth regulators have been added. Results from recent literature are included.
