Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Maize leaf photosynthetic capacity was greater under NM 1.5 than other treatments except at V6.
- Observation Yield increase was most obvious under NM 1.5.
- Mechanism Nonstomatal factors affected maize photosynthesis across growth stages.
- Intervention effect Straw mulching reduced adverse effects of nonstomatal factors on maize leaf photosynthesis.
- Association Maximum net photosynthetic rate rose as straw mulch quantity increased.
- Association Light saturation point rose as straw mulch quantity increased.
- Association Apparent quantum efficiency rose as straw mulch quantity increased.
- Observation The greatest increase in light response traits occurred between 0.5-fold and 1.0-fold mulch.
- Observation NM 1.5 yielded the greatest improvement in maize leaf light response characteristics.
- Mechanism Authors inferred improved strong-light adaptation and weak-light efficiency from mulching.
