Responses of Maize Hybrids to Twin-Row Spatial Arrangement at Multiple Plant Densities (2012, background): “Anthesis and silking were respectively defi ned as the beginning of pollen shed from the tassel and the appearance of the fi rst pollen receptive silk (Borrás et al., 2007).”
Why Early Season Weed Control Is Important in Maize (2012, background): “Because the developmental stage of silking is correlated with whole plant and ear biomass accumulation (Borràs et al. 2007), this delay suggests that maize plants in 2009 had a lower plant growth rate leading up to the critical period bracketing silking.”
A comprehensive study of plant density consequences on nitrogen uptake dynamics of maize plants from vegetative to reproductive stages (2011, background): “However, at supra-optimum plant densities, reductions in er-plant crop growth rate, N uptake rate, and partitioning of phoosynthetic products to the ear, and grain components, as well s increases in plant-to-plant variability (sometimes reflected via ore barrenness) lead to grain yield reductions re”
Effects of EDAH, a novel plant growth regulator, on mechanical strength, stalk vascular bundles and grain yield of summer maize at high densities (2017, background): “However, at high densities, per-plant growth rates decline and young kernel abortion is exacerbated (Sangoi, 2001; Tollenaar et al., 2006; Borrás et al., 2007).”
