Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Double-row planting significantly increased total dry matter, kernel counts and ear length over single-row planting.
- Association Biomass increased with plant density.
- Intervention effect Grain yield peaked at 8.28 ton ha -1 with 75,000 plants ha -1 and 20 cm double rows.
- Intervention effect Ear dry weight peaked at 3.29 ton ha -1 with 75,000 plants ha -1 and 20 cm double rows.
- Intervention effect Harvest index peaked at 46.21% with 75,000 plants ha -1 and 20 cm double rows.
- Intervention effect Total dry weight peaked at 18.38 ton ha -1 with 85,000 plants ha -1 and 20 cm double rows.
- Recommendation The authors suggest double-row planting may decrease interplant competition and increase yield.
