Development of Corn Stover Biofuel: Impacts on Corn and Soybean Markets and Crop Rotation [PDF]

, 2017
What would be the impacts of a viable market for corn stover? A partial equilibrium model and a linear programing model were used to determine to what extent the existence of a viable market for corn stover would affect the traditional corn-soybean crop ...

Optimizing harvest of corn stover fractions based on overall sugar yields following ammonia fiber expansion pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2009
Background Corn stover composition changes considerably throughout the growing season and also varies between the various fractions of the plant. These differences can impact optimal pretreatment conditions, enzymatic digestibility and maximum achievable

Use of natural ensiling additives with tropical grasses: Physicochemical properties, in vitro fermentation characteristics, and microbial community diversity indices

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Improving feed quality, availability, and cost‐effectiveness is a big challenge for livestock to ensure animal‐derived food for nutritional security. The aim of the study was to find out how some natural ensiling additives affect physicochemical properties, proximate composition, microbial population, in vitro fermentation ...

Exploring biofiber properties and their influence on biocomposite tensile properties

Polymer International, EarlyView.
The study measured the physical, flow and chemical properties of 10 biofibers. It characterized the tensile properties of derived biocomposites and linked them using regression models, showing robust predictive performance. Abstract Biofibers serve as effective reinforcements for neat polylactic acid (PLA) in biocomposites, offering an attractive ...

Inheritance and stability of Cry2Ab2 resistance in an Ostrinia nubilalis strain originating from Wisconsin, U.S.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Resistance to Cry2Ab2 protein in Ostrinia nubilalis is autosomal, functionally recessive, controlled by a single gene, and remains stable over 17 generations in the absence of Cry2Ab2 selection pressure. Abstract BACKGROUND Transgenic corn expressing insecticidal proteins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), including Cry1Ab, Cry1Fa and/or ...

High-concentration sugars production from corn stover based on combined pretreatments and fed-batch process

, 2010
In this paper, high-concentration sugars were produced from pretreated corn stover. The raw corn stover was pretreated in a process combining steam explosion and alkaline hydrogen-peroxide. The hemicellulose and lignin were removed greatly. The cellulose
