Corn stover refers to the leftover plant material from corn harvests, including the leaves, stalks, and cobs. After the corn kernels are collected for food or animal feed, this biomass remains in the field. It plays a crucial role in maintaining soil health by preventing erosion and providing organic matter. Farmers often use corn stover as livestock bedding or as a source of bioenergy. Additionally, it can be processed into biofuels or used in composting to enrich soil. Its versatility makes corn stover an important agricultural byproduct with various applications in sustainable farming practices.
