Sustainable Cropping Systems for Harvesting Corn Stover for Biomass
| 项目名称： | Sustainable Cropping Systems for Harvesting Corn Stover for Biomass |
| 摘要： | The objectives of this research projects are: (1) Identify groundcover species compatible with corn grown for grain and biomass; (2) determine genetic characteristics of corn that enhance its potential to germinate and compete with perennial groundcovers; (3) develop management systems to minimize competition between corn and the groundcover, while maximizing soil carbon contribution, soil erosion protection, and nutrient cycling. Third quarter reports 60% completed: Variability in these clump-forming grass plots give the confidence that bare soil buffer regions around corn will have a significant effect on yield; project recorded days when the 2 harvest rows each plot had 50% of plants silking/shedding; and Weed composition and density data were collected at silking in all plots. |
