Abstract:
      To investigate the effects of the density and planting patterns on chlorophyll, fluorescence and yield of summer maize Zhengdan 958, a field experiment was carried out with different plant population densities (7.5×104, 9.0×104, 1.05×104 plants·hm-2) using a split-split plot design. The results showed that with the increase of planting density, LAI of extended leaves and chlorophyll content of ear leaf displayed a single peak variation curve. Under certain density, changes in planting pattern could increase the use efficiency of light energy. Under high density condition, the method of double strains cultivation with wide-narrow row spacing improved population structure, significantly increased photosynthetic area, enhanced group light energy utilization, advancing the production potential of corn under high density.
