Development of a corn stover yield monitor
… a sensor to measure the mass flow of corn stover through a combine and determine what harvest parameters affected the response of the sensor. A sensor was developed by installing a curved plate behind the rotor discharge beater of the combine to intersect the flow path of the stover leaving …

Factors Affecting Soybean Stover Intake, Digestion, and Utilization
… value of untreated and alkali-treated soybean stover (SBS) fed either alone or as a part of an all-forage diet, to examine intake and digestibility responses elicited by blending SBS with a markedly different f

Techno-Economic Feasibility of Distributed Torrefaction Systems Using Corn Stover Feedstock
… torrefaction biorefining systems using corn stover feedstock to generate value-‐added products. Distributed torrefaction systems have the potential to operate on private agricultural enterprises as well as community-‐scale processing facilities, similar in scale to local grain elevators. …

TGA-MS studies of the pyrolysis of corn stover for charcoal production
More than two billion people worldwide rely on wood-based fuels for their daily energy needs, which can produce toxic atmospheric contaminants and cause environmental degradation. MIT D-Lab addresses this challenge with "Fuel from the Fields", a simple technique for making charcoal from …

Effect of treating corn stover with aqueous ammonia and urea on nutritional value
… effect of treatment of rectangular bales of corn stover with aqueous ammonia and urea solutions. The stacks were covered with polyethylene sheets for 129 d, after which they were uncovered, aerated and sampled for laboratory analyses.

Stover, tillage, and nitrogen management in continuous corn for grain, ethanol, and soil carbon
… on crop growth. This research indicates corn stover removal in continuous corn cropping (CC) systems improves agronomic performance, but decreases soil C in as little as 3 yr. Agronomic measurements including plant emergence, plant height and normalized difference vegetative index at the eight …

Effects of AFEX Pretreatment, Denisifcation and Storage on Ethanol Yields of Corn Stover, Switchgrass and Prairie Cordgrass
… pretreatment, densification and storage of corn stover (CS), switchgrass (SG) and prairie cordgrass (PCG) were addressed as part of a cellulose-to-ethanol process. It is most cost-effective to transport densified cellulosic materials; however this can be cost prohibitive. AFEX pretreatment …

Influence of treating corn stover and sorghum forage with different nitrogen sources on nutritive value for ruminants
… digestibility (IVDMD) of corn (<i>Zea mays</i>) stover treated with different sources of N; 2) digestibility, N utilization and palatabi1ity in sheep fed corn stover treated with different N sources; and 3) fermentation characteristics and nutrient utilization by sheep of sorghum (<i>Sorghum …

Characterization of chemical composition, milling properties and carbon dioxide diffusivity resulting from early harvest corn and corn stover
… feasibility of early harvest of corn and corn stover and determine the implications of this proposed practice on corn processing characteristics, chemical composition and nutritive values. Effective diffusion coefficient of CO2 through bulk corn at different moisture contents and temperatures …

Impact of lignification of corn stover fractions on cell wall degradation by rumen microorganisms and response to ammonia treatment
… composition and in vitro degradation of corn stover fractions (leaf, upper stem and lower stem) with advancing maturity and in response to NH; treatment were determined, and possible inhibitory mechanisms of lignin were evaluated. With advancing maturity, IVDMD decreased (P<.001), associated …

Minimizing the continuous maize penalty through intense management
… rotation. Recent studies have indicated that stover accumulation in maize systems is a major factor influencing the continuous maize penalty. In addition to stover management, other agronomic management practices are known to enhance maize yields when used individually (e.g. fertilizer …

Genetic Environmental Effects on Silage Productivity of Corn (Zea mays L.)
… population x season interaction for grain and stover yields would recommend lower population density in winter planting for silage production in Hawaii. Increasing population resulted in reduction of yield components and plant characters such as height, stem diameter, and leaf area. Grain and …

Environmental and economic tradeoffs of feedstock usage for liquid fuels and power production
… EROI₃ than conventional jet fuel. Using corn stover, an abundant agricultural residue, as a feedstock for liquid fuel or power production has the potential to offset anthropogenic climate impacts associated with conventional utilities and transportation fuels. We quantify the environmental and …

Effects of feeding CaO treated modified wet distillers grains with solubles or corn stover to cattle on performance, carcass characteristics, and ruminal metabolism
… for cattle. Two such co-products are corn stover (CS) and modified wet distillers grains with solubles (MWDGS). These co-products are less expensive and less digestible than corn grain. Chemically treating corn co-products may increase their feeding value for feedlot cattle by increasing …

Evaluation of three forage Legumes and Intercropping pattern for improved productivity of maize( Zea mays L.)
… that would result in high maize grain and total stover / legume straw yield, enhanced crude protein content of the maize stover /legume straw and increased crude protein content of the maize grain and stover. This would form a basis for the good quality feed for cattle during the dry season. The …

Crop residue management effects on crop production, greenhouse gases emissions, and soil quality in the Mid-Atlantic USA
… improving rural economies. Corn (Zea mays L.) stover and wheat straw (Triticum aestivum L.) residues have particular promise given these crops are widely grown and their cellulosic fractions present a captured resource as a co-product of grain production. Annual systems also offer the ability …
