Other claims from this paper (15)
- Observation Under rainfed conditions, ZD958 yield was 24.7% greater than ZY309.
- Observation Under rainfed conditions, ZD958 evapotranspiration was 8.6% greater than ZY309.
- Observation Under rainfed conditions, ZD958 water productivity was 14.8% greater than ZY309.
- Intervention effect Increasing density from 6 to 9 plants m−2 left evapotranspiration relatively constant in both cultivars.
- Observation With increasing density under rainfed conditions, yield of ZD958 peaked at 7.5 plants m−2.
- Observation With increasing density under rainfed conditions, water productivity of ZY309 peaked at 7.5 plants m−2.
- Intervention effect Under irrigation, increasing density significantly increased ZD958 yield.
- Intervention effect Under irrigation, increasing density significantly increased ZD958 water productivity.
- Intervention effect Under irrigation, density did not significantly affect ZY309 yield or water productivity.
- Observation Cultivar yields did not differ at 6 and 7.5 plants m−2.
- Observation The drought tolerant cultivar was interpreted as more tolerant of high density under irrigation.
- Observation Under rainfed conditions, the cultivars had similar density tolerance and optimum density.
- Observation The drought tolerant cultivar showed stronger drought tolerance than the susceptible cultivar.
- Observation The drought tolerant cultivar had higher and more stable yields across rainfed and irrigated conditions at optimal densities.
- Recommendation The authors recommend drought tolerant cultivars and density optimization for sustainable maize production.
