Impact of low-temperature storage on quality of high-moisture corn grain
… is produced from food crops, predominantly corn in the U.S., whereas advanced or second-generation bioethanol is generated from cellulosic materials such as corn stover. Early harvesting of corn can increase the yields of grain and stover and reduce the lignin content of the stover and as a …

Understanding variability associated with corn grain yield response to foliar fungicide application
… application is becoming a common practice in corn production systems. The strobilurin class of fungicides inhibits mitochondrial respiration in fungal cells, and preventing plant pathogen infection. In addition, these compounds have been shown to decrease ethylene biosynthesis and reduce …

Plant growth regulators and biostimulants for use in varying management systems to improve corn grain yield
… of this study was to evaluate the responses of corn (Zea mays L.) grain yield to in-furrow and foliar applications of PGRs and biostimulants, and to determine if PGRs and biostimulants impact yield differently under varying management systems. Field studies were conducted in the 2017 and 2018 …

Fermentation, utilization and palatability of broiler litter ensiled at different moisture levels and with high moisture corn grain
… alone, with added water or with high moisture corn grain was evaluated. Wood shaving based broiler litter was ensiled in small laboratory silos (about 4 liters) at moisture levels of 15.6 (no water added), 20, 30, 40 and 50%. Maximum fermentation was approached at 40% moisture as measured by …

Influence of nitrogen rate on corn grain yield, nitrogen use efficiency, and nitrate leaching on coarse-textured Minnesota soils
… is easily leached through the root zone of the corn (Zea Mays L.) crop following rain and irrigation events. Leaching is enhanced in sandy soil conditions because sandy soils are particularly well drained. In this study, N was broadcast applied as urea on fields planted with corn at eight rates …

Fermentation, utilization, and palatability of swine waste ensiled with various proportions of ground orchardgrass hay or ground corn grain
… with ground orchardgrass hay or with ground corn grain was determined by mixing and ensiling the following proportions of each (as is basis): 80:20, 70;30, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, 30:70 and 20:80. In the swine waste-orchardgrass hay trials, good fermentation occurred in the 40:60 through 60:40 …

Technology assessment of biomass ethanol : a multi-objective, life cycle approach under uncertainty
… transportation fuels, specifically, the use of corn grain and stover for ethanol production. The generic methodology integrates chemical process design and decision analysis tools. Four primary concepts are incorporated to address the performance of technologies and policies: 1) expansion of the …

Corn responses to high levels of copper application as copper rich pig manure
… 32 kg Cu ha⁻¹ year⁻¹), had no adverse effects on corn yields. Copper levels in corn grain and leaf tissue were not increased by the nine annual applications of Cu rich manure or CuSO₄ , except for a slight increase in Cu concentration in corn grain from CuSO₄ application on only one soil. Copper …

Biomass to ethanol : potential production and environmental impacts
… of ethanol produced from three feedstocks; corn grain, corn stover, and switchgrass. A life-cycle assessment approach with an integrated Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis is applied to each of these three bioethanol pathways. Incorporating a Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis within a …

Correction and diagnosis of boron deficiency in corn
… region to determine the response of irrigated corn (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) to boron application. Two treatments applied to each of the soils consisted of 1) a control and 2) both band and foliar boron applied at rates of 2.0 and 0.5 kg ha⁻¹, respectively, as Solubor when corn plants were in the V5 …

Response of corn to manganese application on Atlantic coastal plain soils
Although corn plants are tolerant of low levels of available soil Mn, Mn deficiencies in corn were suspected on soils where Mn applications had previously increased soybean seed yields. Five experiments were conducted in farmer's fields to evaluate the response of corn to Mn applications. Three …

Alternative Housing and Management for Organic Dairy Production
… with pasture fly activity of cows fed 3 grain supplementation strategies during the grazing season from May to September 2013. Cows were assigned to 1 of 3 replicate supplementation groups: 1) no corn grain supplementation (100% pasture, GRASS, n = 19), 2) low corn grain (2.72 …

Nutrient availability in mineral sand tailings amended with yard waste compost and wood ash
… twice at a rate of 2.4 t ha⁻¹. Increases in corn and peanut yields on the mine tailings were attributed to increased available water from the application of yard waste compost and to increased pH from the application of wood ash. Successful use of the yard waste compost and wood ashes for …

Availability and distribution of heavy metals from sewage sludge in the plant-soil continuum
… for barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and corn (Zea mays L.) grown on four sludge-amended soils. These lysimeters were constructed in Acredale silt loam (Typic Ochraqualf), Bojac loamy sand (Typic Hapludult), Davidson clay loam (Rhodie Paleudult), and Groseclose silt loam (Typic Hapludult) …
