Maize growth in narrow rows provides a more uniform spatial arrangement, but it does not always lead to increasing yield. A four-year study was conducted investigate the effect of row spacing on silage maize and yield during growing season at harvest time. field experiment with conventional (0.70 m) (0.35 plant density 92,000 plants ha−1 evaluated years 2011–2014, interaction × (92,000 110,000 ...

Stalk lodging, or failure of the stalk structure, is a serious problem in production maize (corn). Addressing this requires an understanding parameters that influence lodging resistance. Computational modelling powerful tool for purpose, but current methods have limited throughput and do not provide ability to modify individual geometric features. A parameterised model has potential overcome th...

To ensure yield in strip-intercropped maize with soybeans (SM), it is crucial to plant at a density comparable that of monoculture (MM). This requires reducing spacing by more than half, increasing intraspecific competition, and altering stalk lodging resistance traits compared MM. Nitrogen fertilization can effectively mediate resistance. However, still unclear how nitrogen rates influence SM’...

The objective of this work is to develop porous maize stalk cellulose fiber-reinforced geopolymer composites for heat insulation on the bottom side an electric stove using solid impregnation method. Heat loss measurement conducted infrared thermometer. Moreover, temperature effect investigated. fibers are very essential anticipate cracking phenomenon generated by high temperatures. degradation ...
