And there are adverse effects on crops with corn stalks the following year.
Corn stalks can be made into high density briquette with the help of fodder briquetting machine. The compress rate can up to 1∶15~1∶5, which can reduce the space of transportation and storage greatly. The briquette may be cross-section of 30mm by 30mm and length of 20mm to 100mm, with the density high up to 0.6t to 0.8t per cubic decimeter. This suitable for the model of company plus farmer with the low investment.
