in order to evaluate the effects of planting pattern on morphological, phonological, yield and yield components of sweet and super sweet corn (zea mays l.) varieties under saline conditions, a field experiment was conducted as split plots based on a randomized complete block design with four replications. planting pattern in 3 levels included one row in ridge, two row in ridge and furrow planti...

Appropriate irrigation and nitrogen (N) management strategies are necessary to achieve a sustainable yield of maize with relatively low water N inputs. Here, 2-year field experiment two methods (drip flood irrigation) five application rates (0, 225, 300, 375, 450 kg ha−1) was conducted evaluate use efficiency in the North China Plain (NCP). Compared fertigation (FF), drip (DF) improved soil con...

Abstract: Grain yield is a complex phenomenon which results from the interaction of various contributing factors highly influenced by environmental variation. Phenotypic selection cannot directly improve the characters in heterozygous crops like maize unless dissected by genetic analysis. Gene action for various quantitative and qualitative traits was explored in a complete set of diallel invol...
