Average elemental composition of corn tissue (silage). From Troeh, Frederick and L. M. Thompson. 1993. Soils and soil fertility. Oxford University Press. New York.

	This table is for corn. Exact composition for plants will vary, but will generally be in similar proportions.		This table is for corn silage, so it may be dryer than most plants, and already separated from some biomass. Exact composition for plants will vary, but will generally be in similar proportions.
