Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to study root characters and yield of maize under no-tillage cultivation and common cultivation taking the hybrid maize Guidan 8 as the material.The results showed that the root surface area,root length,volumn,number of root tips under no-tillage cultivation were all significantly lower than under common cultivation,but root diameter had no significant difference.Compared with tillage cultivation,ear leaf area and ear height were significantly lower under no-tillage cultivation,but plant height and stem diameter had no significant difference.And for yield component factors,bare stem rate,grain number and thousand kernel weight had no significant difference either.The per capita yield of maize under no-tillage cultivation was significantly lower than under tillage cultivation for its high lodging rate and fewer effective plant number.
