Corn (maize) plant parts left in field after harvest / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the furnace that can burn corn, see Corn stove.
Corn stover consists of the leaves, stalks, and cobs of corn (maize) (Zea mays ssp. mays L.) plants left in a field after harvest. Such stover makes up about half of the yield of a corn crop[1] and is similar to straw from other cereal grasses; in Britain it is sometimes called corn straw. Corn stover is a very common agricultural product in areas of large amounts of corn production. As well as the non-grain part of harvested corn, the stover can also contain other weeds and grasses.[2] Field corn and sweet corn, two different types of maize, have relatively similar corn stover.
