Heat stress during flowering is a critical limitation for summer maize production. However, the incidence of heat varies with years and locations, it poses great risk to successful reproduction kernel setting. Therefore, essential provide sound quantification occurrence in relation growth development. Here, we analyzed characteristics based on climate data over 60 Huaibei Plain, China. The effe...

In this study, the growth periods of summer maize were divided into seedling, booting and flowering-grain stage. Based on simulation results AquaCrop model, drought loss sensitivity in different was analyzed. The curves fitting using soil moisture content effective root zone fixed layer both indicated that stage most sensitive to water stress, which critical period for irrigation, followed by s...

A field experiment was conducted at the Instructional-cum-Research (ICR) Farm, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat during summer season of 2019 to find out effect zinc on growth and yield through soil foliar application. The consisted nine treatments viz., 0 kg/ha ZnSO4 (Control), 10 application, 20 0.5% spray 25 DAS, DAS 45 ­soil application + DAS. were laid in Randomized Block Design (RBD) ...

This study aims to examine the impact of combined irrigation and fertilizer control on summer maize yield, nitrogen use efficiency (NE), leaching (NL) in Yellow River Basin. Based measured data from field experiment 2021 2022, a water-nitrogen movement model was constructed for ‘Zhengdan 958’ under two methods (wide furrow (G) border (Q)), three rates (120 kg/ha (N1), 220 (N2), 320 (N3)), frequ...

A field experiment was performed to study the effects of waterlogging on the leaf mesophyll cell ultrastructure, chlorophyll content, gas exchange parameters, chlorophyll fluorescence, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content of summer maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids Denghai605 (DH605) and Zhengdan958 (ZD958). The waterlogging treatments were implemented for different durations (3 and 6 days) at the third...
