Damage of Maize Borer and Maize Weevil on the Yield of Transgenic Phytase Maize

Agronomy Journal, 2015
The recent Chinese government approval of transgenic phytase maize for field experimentation is vital for its development of biotech maize for improved maize production. Phytase maize can potentially improve the efficiency of feed utilization by livestock and reduce environmental pollution from animal manure.

Response of fertilizer and silicon on yield attributes and yield of maize (Zea maize L.)

Ecology, Environment and Conservation
The present study was carried out to examine the combined effects of varying fertilizer and silicon levels on maize yield during the two-year investigation, at RCA, Udaipur. The experimental plots were designed in a split-plot design with three replications and sixteen treatment combinations comprised of four fertility levels in main-plots and four ...

Integrated Nutrient Management Practices on Maize Growth Parameters, Yield Parameters and Yield of Maize

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020
Integrated nutrient management (INM) is a management strategy that aims at maintaining or adjusting of soil fertility and plant nutrient supply to an optimum level for sustaining the desired crop productivity through all possible sources of plant nutrients in an integrated manner through a balanced use of fertilizers combined with organic sources ...

Genetic and molecular control of grain yield in maize

Molecular Breeding, 2021
Understanding the genetic and molecular basis of grain yield is important for maize improvement. Here, we identified 49 consensus quantitative trait loci (cQTL) controlling maize yield-related traits using QTL meta-analysis. Then, we collected yield-related traits associated SNPs detected by association mapping and identified 17 consensus significant ...

Yield potential, yield stability and stress tolerance in maize

Field Crops Research, 2002
Abstract Average commercial maize yield in the US has increased from about 1 Mg/ha in the 1930s to about 7 Mg/ha in the 1990s. Although the increase has been the result of both genetic and agronomic-management improvements, we contend that most of this improvement is the result of the genotype×management interaction.

Changes in the drought sensitivity of US maize yields

Nature Food, 2020
As climate change leads to increased frequency and severity of drought in many agricultural regions, a prominent adaptation goal is to reduce the drought sensitivity of crop yields. Yet many of the sources of average yield gains are more effective in good weather, leading to heightened drought sensitivity.

Root pruning and yield of maize

Netherlands Journal of Plant Pathology, 1965
The effect on yield of artificial injury to the root system of maize was assessed in two trials both on sandy soil at Wageningen. In the first in 1960 only severe injury (removal of half of the root system in the five-leaf stage or a third or more at the beginning and end of flowering) reduced the yield of straw significantly.

Growth, Yield, and Yield Components of Maize as Influenced by Ethephon

Crop Science, 1988
Considerable interest exists for use of plant growth regulators to control lodging in maize (Zea mays L.), thereby reducing yield losses. Field experiments were established in New York during the 1985 and 1986 growing seasons on a Honeoye silt loam (fine‐loamy, mixed, mesic Giossoboric Hapludalt) to evaluate a lodging‐susceptible and lodging‐tolerant ...

Effect of production factors on maize yield and yield stability

Cereal Research Communications, 2014
Different long-term experiments were carried on chernozem (Debrecen) and loamy (Hajduboszormeny) soils. They included the most important agrotechnical, biological (hybrid) and agroecological (crop year, soil) factors in maize production. This paper evaluated the results of polyfactorial long-term experiments.

Effect of Soil Moisture on the Yield and Yield Components of Maize

Madras Agricultural Journal, 1974
Field experiment was conducted with five levels of irrigation at 0, 20, 40, 60 and 80 per cent availablo moisture regimes under uniform doses of NPK fertilizers to find out the water requirement of maize crop. The results were: (1) The water requirement of maize was found to be 27.65 acre inches (2) There was significant increase in respect of ...
