Management of higher populations in maize
While increasing plant density is a promising strategy for higher grain yield in maize, high plant populations must be managed to lesson plant competition. Previous research has focused on different management strategies for higher plant densities, mainly row configuration, but rarely a combination …

Genetic improvement for nitrogen utilization in maize
… increased as a result of superior tolerance to higher plant densities, greater harvest index, and reductions in grain protein concentration. In addition, we demonstrate that past breeding has likely optimized N uptake for high grain yields, but that significant opportunities exist to further …

Optimum plant density for crowding stress tolerant processing sweet corn in the Upper Midwest
… the ability of modern hybrids to better tolerate higher plant densities (i.e., crowding stress) than their predecessors. Yield gains in processing sweet corn, however, pale in comparison to field corn. Recent studies have identified modern sweet corn hybrids with crowding stress tolerance (CST); …
