Context or problem A range of maize (Zea mays L.) hybrid maturities are planted across the
US Corn Belt, yet, studies that concurrently evaluate genetic gain for grain yield and …

Long‐term weather patterns (environmental conditions or stresses exceeding 10 days in
length) have the potential to influence corn (Zea mays L.) growth, development, and yield …

Era studies are important to understand historical changes in maize (Zea mays) germplasm
and estimate genetic gains, yet information for short‐season maize hybrids is limited. Here …

Adverse weather conditions from acute events (eg, storms causing lodging, flooding, or hail)
or short‐duration weather patterns (ie, periods of cold events; extended waterlogged field …

Quantifying historical changes in maize leaf angle and factors affecting it can enhance our
understanding of canopy architecture and light capture, and hence crop productivity. Our …

Ranking the contribution of genotype, environment, and management (G× E× M) on maize's
economic optimum nitrogen fertilizer rate (EONR) variability could improve understanding …

Understanding historical changes in root depth attributes is needed for crop productivity and
sustainability assessments, but such information is rare. We explored whether newer maize …

Era studies are key to estimate the historic rate of genetic gain for commercial traits of a crop.
We evaluated for the first time nearly all maize hybrids released (269) in five relative maturity …
