Altering Source‐Sink Relationships in Prolific Maize Hybrids: Consequences for Nitrogen Uptake and Remobilization

W. L. Pan; J. J. Camberato; R. H. Moll; et al. Crop Science 1995. doi:10.2135/cropsci1995.0011183x003500030034x

Other claims from this paper (9)

Association Fully pollinated high-yielding maize hybrids had 74% more grain weight than low-yielding hybrids.
Intervention effect A high-yielding maize hybrid had 71% more G w under full pollination than with only apical ears pollinated.
Intervention effect Limiting pollination had little effect on low-yielding maize hybrids.
Intervention effect The composite [T wa − G w ] was greater at low plant density.
Intervention effect The composite [T wa − G w ] was greater with limited pollination.
Association The composite [T wa − G w ] was positively related to N a uptake after anthesis.
Association Greater kernel weight and number were positively correlated with post-anthesis DM accumulation in maize.
Observation High-yielding maize hybrids maintained T a and Na during multiple ear development.
Mechanism Nitrogen uptake after anthesis is regulated by ear sink size relative to photosynthate supply, according to the authors.

R. L. Becker; C. C. Sheaffer; D. W. Miller; et al. jpa 1998. doi:10.2134/jpa1998.0300

Other claims from this paper (19)

Intervention effect Solo seeding without herbicide and oat companion crops had the highest total forage yield.
Intervention effect Solo seeding with herbicide gave the highest alfalfa yield.
Intervention effect Solo seeding with herbicide gave the lowest oat or giant foxtail proportion in forage.
Observation Forage often contained significant oat or giant foxtail without herbicides.
Intervention effect Relative feed value was highest with herbicide solo seeding.
Intervention effect Relative feed value was lowest with companion crops or solo seeding without herbicide.
Intervention effect Herbicides consistently produced the highest forage quality and value.
Intervention effect Herbicides did not always give the highest net income after costs.
Intervention effect April plantings earned higher net income than May plantings.
Observation With adequate moisture and suitable dates, oat mulch or herbicide solo seeding was most profitable.
Observation When planting was delayed or moisture limited, herbicide systems were no more profitable than alternatives.
Association Oat companion crops or giant foxtail did not reduce alfalfa population density the following year.
Association Oat presence reduced alfalfa yield more than foxtail when rainfall was adequate.
Association With limited moisture or May sowing, oat and giant foxtail severely reduced alfalfa yields compared with herbicide removal.
Association Neutral detergent fiber increased with giant foxtail and, less strongly, oat presence.
Intervention effect Clipping alone failed to control oat or foxtail regrowth.
Intervention effect Herbicide use produced the highest season-total alfalfa yield.
Recommendation Producers prioritizing high-quality alfalfa should use herbicide in the seeding year.
Recommendation Oat mulch should be considered on erodible soils under favorable weather and sowing dates.
