Drought stress leaves deleterious effects on growth of maize plant while potassium plays an important role in reducing such deleterious effects. To study the role of potassium on maize plant grown under drought stress an experiment was conducted at Postgraduate Agricultural Research Station, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Maize hybrids 32-F-10 (drought tolerant) and YH-1898 (drought sensitive) were grow...

The experiment was set up at the Dr. Khem Singh Gill Akal College of Agriculture's experimental farm chhapang Eternal University in Baru Sahib during 2019–20 to assess impact organic and inorganic nitrogen management planting technique on maize yield. designed as a split plot with total three replications each two main treatments, Flat bed Raised bed, five sub 100% IO, FYM, 50% IO + 75% 25% FYM...

This field experiment was conducted during the 2021 cropping season at Prince Abubakar Audu University Research and Demonstration farm, Anyigba in Southern Guinea Savana Agro Ecological Zone of Nigeria to determine performance maize varieties under influence NPK 20:10:10 Urea fertilizer application. A Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) used with three replications. The treatment consisted ...

a study was conducted to evaluate the effects of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) inoculants including four strains of azotobacter chroococcum, azospirillum lipoferum, a. brasilense and pseudomonas fluorescence on dry matter accumulation of late maturing maize(zea mays l.) hybrids, sc704, sc700 and a promising single cross b73×k18. a factorial experiment was conducted in research fie...

This research was conducted to determine the relationship between seed developmental characteristics and yield components in a population of maize (Zea mays L.) grown at different potassium fertilizer rates. The information could be utilized as alternative selection criteria for genotypes with high-yielding potential. Experimental field Horticulture Seed Agency, Pekanbaru. Seven four rates were...

The prediction of single-cross hybrids in maize is a promising technique for optimizing the use of financial resources in a breeding program. This study aimed to evaluate Genomic Best Linear Unbiased Predictors models for hybrid prediction and compare them with the Bayesian Ridge Regression, Bayes A, Bayesian LASSO, Bayes C, Bayes B, and Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces Regression models, with...

In southwest China, some maize landraces have long been isolated geographically, and have phenotypes that differ from those of widely grown cultivars. These landraces may harbor rich genetic variation responsible for those phenotypes. Four-row Wax is one such landrace, with four rows of kernels on the cob. We resequenced the genome of Four-row Wax, obtaining 50.46 Gb sequence at 21.87× coverage...

Utilization of maize stover to the production meat and milk saving grains for human consumption would be one strategy optimal usage resources. Variance tendency analyses were applied find nitrogen (N) fertilization dose (0, 100, 145, 190, 240, 290 kg/ha) forage (F), (S), cob (C), grain (G) yields, as well grain-to-forage, cob-to-forage, cob-to-stover ratios (G:F, C:F, C:S, respectively). The st...
