- Intervention effect High density reduced ear-leaf photosynthesis.
- Intervention effect Shading reduced ear-leaf photosynthesis.
- Intervention effect High density and shade slightly delayed tassel emergence.
- Intervention effect High density significantly delayed silking.
- Intervention effect Shading significantly delayed silking.
- Observation Seven days after anthesis 10% of high-density plants lacked silk.
- Observation Seven days after anthesis 50% of shaded plants lacked silk.
- Association Ambient-light yield responded parabolically to density.
- Intervention effect In shaded plots increasing density did not increase yield.
- Intervention effect Shade reduced productive ears and kernels per row.
- Intervention effect Shade reduced yield 23% at low density.
- Intervention effect Increased density reduced weight per kernel 28%.
- Intervention effect Shading did not further decrease kernel weight.
