1. Hybrid and Plant Density Effects on Nitrogen Response In CornThe development of corn hybrids that may be improved for nitrogen use efficiency along with the emphasis on higher plant density for maximum yields of modern hybrids have raised questions about interactions between N rate and plant density. We planted four hybrids (Pioneer 33D49, 33K44, 33W84, and 34F07) to represent a range of responses to N rate and plant density at four sites in Illinois at combinations of densities of 44,460, 83,980, and 123,500 plants ha -1 and N rates of 0, 90, 179, and 269... |
2. Hybrid, Plant Population, and Nitrogen Interactions in CornCharacterizing hybrids by their response to both plant population and N response will be needed to help make variable-rate population and N rate work. We planted four corn hybrids at three sites in Illinois over two years, using combinations of 18,000, 34,000, and 50,000 plants per acre 0, 80, 160, and 240 lb N/acre. Across three environments where shortage of water reduced yields, 50,000 plants/acre yielded less than the two lower populations, both of which yields about the same. There was little... |
