Maize grain yield enhancement through high plant density cultivation with different inter-row and intra-row spacings (2016, background): “The young kernel 358 abortion immediately after fertilization, is due to a lower supply of carbon and nitrogen to 359 the ear (Liu et al., 2015).”
Effects of nitrogen fertilizer and planting density on the leaf photosynthetic characteristics, agronomic traits and grain yield in common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum M.) (2018, background): “…the leaf is the photosynthetic source before anthesis, which receives less radiation due to the development of the plant canopy in high planting density, and results in the decrease of the leaf photosynthetic capacity and grain yield (Will et al., 2005; Dong et al., 2006; Liu et al., 2015).”
