Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Leaf length and width of maize decreased as plant density increased.
- Intervention effect In maize, leaf width decreased more than leaf length under increased plant density.
- Association Changes in leaf dimensions caused the leaf area of maize to decline.
- Intervention effect Increasing plant density decreased leaf angle in maize.
- Intervention effect Increasing plant density increased the leaf orientation value (LOV) above the ear in maize.
- Association Leaf spacing below the ear of maize increased as plant density increased.
- Association Ear height and plant height coefficient of maize increased with increasing plant density.
- Intervention effect Leaves above the ear became more upright in maize as plant density increased.
- Intervention effect Light intensity within the maize canopy decreased with increasing plant density.
- Association Canopy leaf changes in maize were more affected above the ear than below the ear as plant density increased.
- Observation Leaf angle of maize generally decreased from the bottom to the top of the canopy.
- Observation Leaf orientation value (LOV) of maize showed the opposite trend to leaf angle.
