Abstract

Although corn stover has little direct economic value for most farmers, it is critical to ecosystem performance and sustainability. Studies describing responses in maize stover traits relevant to the system performance and sustainability are limited. The objective of this study was to determine and dissect plant density, N-fertilizer, hybrids, and crop rotation impacts on maize grain yield, stover quantity, and stover C:N ratio.
