Interacting leaf dynamics and environment to optimize maize

发布时间：2023-04-03 05:53

　　Leaf growth and its interaction with the growing environment critically affect leaf area, distribution, and function, and ultimately affects grain yield of maize(Zea mays L.). To detect the effects of leaf area dynamics, growth periods, and the environment on maize grain yield, a three-year field experiment was conducted using two maize varieties, medium plant-size variety Zhengdan 958(ZD958) and large plant-size variety Zhongnongda 4(ZND4), and three to five sowing dates. The sowing date signif...
