Mathematical Models Of Zea Mays: Grain Yield And Aboveground Biomass Applied To Ear Flex And Within Row Spacing Variability, Todd Curtis Ballard
Mathematical Models Of Zea Mays: Grain Yield And Aboveground Biomass Applied To Ear Flex And Within Row Spacing Variability, Todd Curtis Ballard
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Field studies were conducted during the summers of 2007 and 2008 at the Agricultural Research and Education Complex, Western Kentucky University, Warren County, KY and commercial production fields in Caldwell County, KY, Warrick County IN, and Vanderburgh County, IN. The goals of these studies were to further validate the Duncan grain yield model, the Russell aboveground biomass model, and to study the effect of inconsistent spacing within rows on Zea mays L. yield. Plant spacing other than uniform decreases grain yield and profitability. The population experiments conducted at the Warren County location were a randomized complete block design with three …
