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 …

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 …
