Response of maize emergence rate and yield to soil water stress in period of seeding emergence and its meteorological assessment in central area of Jilin Province
In spring of 2010-2011,an experiment with treatments on soil water stress and sowing by stages of spring maize( Zea mays) was conducted in the central Jilin Province. The responses of maize emergence rate and yield to soil water stress were analyzed,and the assessment models of the emergence rate and reduction of yield caused by drought were established based on meteorological conditions. The results showed that during the study period, the relationship between maize emergence rate or per unit yield,and the...
