At experimental farm of M. S. Swaminathan School Agriculture, Centurion University Technology and Management, Paralakhemundi, Odisha, India, an experiment was conducted to know the effect nitrogen doses mulching on nutrient status, yield economics maize during rabi season 2021-22. The hybrid seed (Hybrid variety 4226) sown in a spilt plot design with three levels main four sub-plot. grain yield...

Weeds have been a problem creator in crops since time immemorial competing with them for all the growth resources. cause around 28-100% loss maize crop which necessitates their control. The usage of herbicides control weeds has most prominent method among farmers. However, continuous similar can develop herbicide resistance needs exploration to newer herbicides. Therefore, field experiment was ...

Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant byproduct from cereal crops that can potentially be valorized as a feedstock to produce biomaterials. Zea mays CINNAMYL ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASE 2 (ZmCAD2) involved in lignification, and promising target improve the cellulose-to-glucose conversion of maize stover. Here, we analyzed field-grown zmcad2 Mutator transposon insertional mutant. Zmcad2 mutant plants...

Cellulase and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were added to Avicel cellulose and solids containing 56% cellulose and 28% lignin from dilute sulfuric acid pretreatment of corn stover. Little BSA was adsorbed on Avicel cellulose, while pretreated corn stover solids adsorbed considerable amounts of this protein. On the other hand, cellulase was highly adsorbed on both substrates. Adding a 1% concentrat...

Both the current corn starch to ethanol industry and the emerging lignocellulosic biofuels industry view recycling of spent fermentation broth or stillage as a method to reduce fresh water use. The objective of this study was to understand the impact of recycling stillage on conversion of corn stover to ethanol. Sugars in a dilute-acid pretreated corn stover hydrolysate were fermented to ethano...
