ABSTRACT:
Corn grain yield can be increased without affecting grain quality by alteration of early plant growth. One particularly preferred technique of early plant growth alteration involves reducing the effective leaf area of a short-season hybrid growing in a full-season maturity zone. With optimization of early plant growth alteration of an appropriate hybrid in an appropriate maturity zone, corn grain yield increases in excess of 30% and even in excess of 75% can be otained.
