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 …

High plant density is considered a proficient approach to increase maize production in
countries with limited agricultural land; however, this creates a high risk of stem lodging and …

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 …

Context Optimal plant density and nitrogen (N) application rate are important to achieve high
maize yield. High plant density increases plant-plant competition for light and nutrients …

Spatial configuration and plant phenotypic plasticity contribute to increased light capture in
relay intercropping, but there is little information on whether these factors also increase light …

Melatonin is an important plant growth regulator which plays a key role in plant growth and
development. The objective of the current research was to evaluate the effect of foliar …

High yields of modern maize are typically obtained at high plant densities. However, maize
lodging rates also increase at high densities. In China, EDAH (a plant growth regulator …

Plant height (PH) and ear height (EH) are two very important agronomic traits related to the
population density and lodging in maize. In order to better understand of the genetic basis of …

Now, lodging is a major constraint factor contributing to yield loss of maize (Zea mays L.)
under high planting density. Chemical regulation and nitrogen fertilizer could effectively …

Process-based models are valuable tools for simulating crop production, estimating
agronomic efficiency and developing optimum management practices to achieve …
