The effect of density of planting on yield and final nutrient uptake of two maize varieties in Nigeria
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Extract
Recent studies on maize in Nigeria showed that the new ‘FARZ series’ of maize, which were specially bred for high yield, respond to high density treatments (Lucas, 1981; Remison & Lucas, 1982). The optimum maize grain yields were obtained by these workers at density treatments 6·6 and 5·3 plants/m2. Prior to the release of these varieties, optimum grain yields were obtained between 3·7 and 4·3 plants/m2 (Fayemi, 1963; Chinwuba, 1967).
