Phosphorus acquisition and internal utilization efficiency in tropical maize genotypes
The objective of this work was to determine the relative importance of phosphorus acquisition efficiency (PAE – plant P uptake per soil available P), and phosphorus internal utilization efficiency (PUTIL – grain yield per P uptake) in the P use efficiency (PUE – grain yield per soil available P), on 28 tropical maize genotypes evaluated at three low P and two high P environments. PAE was almost...
متن کاملInheritance of Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Inbred Progenies of Tropical Maize Based on Multivariate Diallel Analysis
The objective of our study was to characterize and determine the patterns of genetic control in relation to tolerance and efficiency of nitrogen use by means of a complete diallel cross involving contrasting inbred progenies of tropical maize based on a univariate approach within the perspective of a multivariate mixed model. Eleven progenies, previously classified regarding the tolerance and r...
متن کاملPhysiological and Genetic Mechanisms for Nitrogen-Use Efficiency in Maize
Due to the strong influence of nitrogen (N) on plant productivity, a vast amount of N fertilizers is used to maximize crop yield. Over-use of N fertilizers leads to severe pollution of the environment, especially the aquatic ecosystem, as well as reducing farmer's income. Growing of N-efficient cultivars is an important prerequisite for integrated nutrient management strategies in both lowand h...
متن کاملBiotechnology Approaches to Improving Maize Nitrogen Use Efficiency
Nitrogen (N) is an essential and often limiting nutrient to plant growth. Maize grain yields are highly responsive to supplemental N, leading to annual application of an estimated 10 million metric tons of N fertilizer to the maize crop worldwide (FAO 2004). Nearly all cultivated maize in developed countries receives some form of N fertilizer and N use is increasing in developing countries, whe...
متن کاملUse of tropical maize for bioethanol production.
Tropical maize is an alternative energy crop being considered as a feedstock for bioethanol production in the North Central and Midwest United States. Tropical maize is advantageous because it produces large amounts of soluble sugars in its stalks, creates a large amount of biomass, and requires lower inputs (e.g. nitrogen) than grain corn. Soluble sugars, including sucrose, glucose and fructos...
