Simulation of evapotranspiration and yield of maize: An inter-comparison among 41 maize models
Accurate simulation of crop water use (evapotranspiration, ET) can help crop growth models to assess the likely effects of climate change on future crop productivity, as well as being an aid for irrigation scheduling for today's growers. To determine how well maize (Zea mays L.) growth models can simulate ET, an initial inter-comparison study was ...

Evaluation of maize grain yield and yield stability by AMMI analysis [PDF]
Significant genotype x environment interaction for quantitative traits, such is grain yield, reduces the usefulness of genotype means, over all environments, for selecting superior genotypes. AMMI model is a valuable statistical tool in identifying systemic variation contained in the interaction effect.

Maize BIG GRAIN1 homolog overexpression increases maize grain yield [PDF]
SummaryThe Zea Mays BIG GRAIN 1 HOMOLOG 1 (ZM‐BG1H1) was ectopically expressed in maize. Elite commercial hybrid germplasm was yield tested in diverse field environment locations representing commercial models. Yield was measured in 101 tests across all 4 events, 26 locations over 2 years, for an average yield gain of 355 kg/ha (5.65 bu/ac) above ...

Climate Change and Maize Yield in Iowa
Climate is changing across the world, including the major maize-growing state of Iowa in the USA. To maintain crop yields, farmers will need a suite of adaptation strategies, and choice of strategy will depend on how the local to regional climate is expected to change.

Enhancing productivity of spring maize (Zea mays) with intercrops and row-orientations
A research experiment was conducted on spring maize (Zea mays L.) in a split-plot design with two row orientations in main plots and nine intercropping including sole systems in sub plots during 2016-17 at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana.

Impact of Spatial Soil Variability on Rainfed Maize Yield in Kansas under a Changing Climate
As the climate changes, a growing demand exists to identify and manage spatial variation in crop yield to ensure global food security. This study assesses spatial soil variability and its impact on maize yield under a future climate in eastern Kansas ...

Stability of yield and yield components in maize hybrids
Two-year grain yield and 1000-grains mass data of 24 maize hybrids of FAO maturity groups 400, 500, 600, 700 were analyzed. Investigations were performed at the two environments in two years. Nonparametric methods of the Kubinger and the van der Laan-de Kroon showed genotype x environment interaction for both investigated features, and method of ...
