Determination of free phenolic acids from leaves within different colored maize [PDF]

Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2017
Along with other plant parts, maize leaves are widely used for making fermented food for cattle, known as silage. Since there have been only a few reports on studies concerning the extraction and determination of phenolic acids from maize leaves,

Excessive rainfall leads to maize yield loss of a comparable magnitude to extreme drought in the United States

Global Change Biology, 2019
Increasing drought and extreme rainfall are major threats to maize production in the United States. However, compared to drought impact, the impact of excessive rainfall on crop yield remains unresolved.

Interactive effects of drought and heat stresses on morpho-physiological attributes, yield, nutrient uptake and oxidative status in maize hybrids

Scientific Reports, 2019
Maize is a sensitive crop to drought and heat stresses, particularly at the reproductive stages of development. The present study investigated the individual and interactive effects of drought (50% field capacity) and heat (38 °C/30 °C) stresses on ...

Maize/peanut intercropping improves nutrient uptake of side-row maize and system microbial community diversity

BMC Microbiology, 2022
Intercropping, a diversified planting pattern, increases land use efficiency and farmland ecological diversity. We explored the changes in soil physicochemical properties, nutrient uptake and utilization, and microbial community composition in wide-strip
