Plant population density is an important variable in agronomy and forestry and offers an
experimental way to better understand plant–plant competition. We made a meta‐analysis of …

Whereas the concept that availability of resources drives seed production is sound in
principle, it is incomplete as there are many solutions to the allocation of resources that …

[Objective] It is very important to study photosynthesis of super high-yielding maize hybrids,
so a field trail was conducted to research the relation to photosynthetic traits and yield of …

Delaying maize (Zea mays L.) sowing date can diminish grain yields through reductions in
the number, size and activity of growing grains (sink strength) and/or reductions in the …

Weather conditions in the southwestern United States are variable and influence crop
growing periods with late spring and early fall frosts which significantly impact cropping …

The improved grain yield per unit area of modern maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids is due to the
increased optimum plant population rather than the improved grain yield per plant. Traits …

This book contains 10 chapters, dealing with the physiological processes determining the
yield that can be harvested from a stand of crop plants, whether grown for food, feed or for …

Increasing the maize plant population has undergone a constant evolution over the years,
with the purpose of enhancing the crop yield. Field trials, in which 2 different experiments …

Maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids differ in their response to plant population density.
Enhancements in tolerance to crowding have been obtained around the world as the result …

[Objective] Field experiments were conducted to study the influence of density on maize
yield (> 15 000 kg? hm-2) and yield components in order to exploring the formation …
