Climate change is a long-lasting change in the weather arrays across tropics to polls. It is a
global threat that has embarked on to put stress on various sectors. This study is aimed to …

Over the past 3 decades, the study of various mechanisms involved in maize grain yield
(GY) formation and its relationship with nitrogen (N) uptake dynamics has been increasingly …

Heat stress is a main threat to current and future global maize production. Adaptation of
maize to future warmer conditions requires improving our understanding of crop responses …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

Increased climate variability and higher mean temperatures are expected across many
world regions, both of which will contribute to more frequent extreme high temperatures …

Studies across different crops demonstrated that grain or seed number per unit area (GN m–
2) is the dominant yield component. Although grains or seeds derive from floret or flower …

Continuous increase in the yield of maize (Zea mays L.) in the US Corn Belt has involved an
interaction with plant density. A number of contributing traits and mechanisms have been …

Maize (Zea mays L.) grain yield is closely associated with kernel number at harvest. This
yield component is a function of the physiological condition of the crop at a critical period …

Mounting concerns over the cost and environmental impact of N fertilizer combined with
progressively higher plant densities in maize (Zea mays L.) production systems make …

Unlike the Central and Eastern US Corn-Belt where maize is grown almost entirely under
rainfed conditions, maize in the Western Corn-Belt is produced under both irrigated (3.2 …
