Feed Value of Forage Maize Hybrids Varying in Tolerance to Plant Density

摘要: The yield response of forage maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes to plant density is not as clear for grain hybrids, where tolerant and sensitive types have been identified. A study including field trials, laboratory analyses, in situ digestibility tests with one density-tolerant hybrid was conducted densities 4 16 plants m −2 . investigations concentrated on stover. There are differences sensitivity planting yield. Differences between range maximum were 0.43 1.18 forage, respectively. decreased compared 50.7 100.0% the hybrid, respectively
