Genetic improvement in density and nitrogen stress tolerance traits over 38 years of commercial maize hybrid release. (2016, background): “The intersection f 30,000 versus 79,000 plants ha−1 occurred during 1950–1960 in hat study (Duvick, 2005).”
Responses of Maize Hybrids to Twin-Row Spatial Arrangement at Multiple Plant Densities (2012, background): “…yield in the world’s primary growing areas during the last decades was mainly driven by the development of crowding stress tolerant hybrids that allowed for dramatic increases in plant population and, therefore, in production per unit area (Russell, 1984; Tollenaar and Wu, 1999; Duvick, 2005).”
metan: an R package for multi-environment trial analysis (2020, background): “For maize, for example, 50% of the increase in yield was due to breeding (Duvick, 2005).”
Mechanisms of Nitrogen Use in Maize (2019, background): “Increases in maize grain yield are associated with increases in aboveground biomass [41–43], and grain yield improvements are associated with increased harvest index [41,44].”
Can improvement in photosynthesis increase crop yields? (2006, background): “Y p ) and 50% to improved management (Duvick 2005).”
Crop design for specific adaptation in variable dryland production environments (2014, background): “) yield in the US over many decades has been associated with superior genotypes being grown at higher density (Duvick 2005).”
Response of grain yield to plant density and nitrogen rate in spring maize hybrids released from 1970 to 2010 in Northeast China (2016, background): “Thus, the yield superiority of newer over older varieties is attributed to their productivity improvement and their better adaptation to changes in cropping techniques, such as dense cropping and nitrogen (N) fertilization [2,5].”
