Warming changed seasonal water uptake patterns of summer maize

Agricultural Water Management, 2021
Abstract Warming affects tremendously agricultural water cycle though crop evapotranspiration, soil evaporation, crop water uptake pattern etc. Crop water uptake pattern plays an important role on water cycle of the groundwater-soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (GSPAC).

Soil water repellency decreases summer maize growth

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2019
Abstract A two-year summer maize irrigation experiment was conducted in soil lysimeters under a rain-shelter to analyze the effects of water repellency on soil moisture, evapotranspiration, crop growth, and yields. Soil water droplet penetration time (WDPT) was initially 1, 7, 9, 12 and 16 s, showing wettable or slight water repellency, denoted as ...

Maize Growth and Yield Following Late Summer Hail

Crop Science, 1994
Leaf damage caused by hail may severely restrict photosynthate production, but estimation of yield loss is hindered by lack of an unaffected control for comparison. A field study was modified in 1990 at Ottawa, Canada, to determine the effect of maize growth stage at the time of hail damage on harvest parameters. Hand‐harvested above‐ground dry matter,

Soil CO2 emissions from summer maize fields under deficit irrigation

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2019
Irrigation practice is one of the main factors affecting soil carbon dioxide (CO2) emission from croplands and therefore on global warming. As a water-saving irrigation practice, the deficit irrigation has been widely used in summer maize fields and is expected to adapt to the shortage of water resources in Northwest China.

Effects of direct heat stress on summer maize and risk assessment

Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2021
The frequency and severity of extreme heat have increased in many parts of the world under global warming, seriously threatening food security and sustainable development. Disaster risk assessment provides the basis for disaster prevention and mitigation.

Responses of the photosynthetic characteristics of summer maize to shading stress

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, 2023
AbstractThe vast majority of the energy and substance required for maize growth and development and related metabolic processes come from the photosynthesis of leaves. Over the past 60 years, the amount of solar radiation reaching the earth's surface has decreased significantly, reducing the photosynthetic rate of crops and leading to a significant ...

Photosynthetic Characteristics of Summer Maize Hybrids with Different Plant Heights

Agronomy Journal, 2017
Core Ideas We investigated the photosynthetic characteristics of high‐yield summer maize with different heights. We realized the regulatory effect of plant density on summer maize with different plant heights. We discussed yield potential of summer maize with different plant height. Three summer maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids with different plant heights,

Management of Furrow Irrigation and Nitrogen Application on Summer Maize

Agronomy Journal, 2014
The efficient use of water and N represents a primary concern to agricultural production in Northwest China. The objective of this study was to assess the impacts of irrigation and fertilization on water and N use, soil volatilized NH3, soil NO3 leaching, and NO3 transfer in soil profiles.
