<i>Water stress based deficit irrigation scheduling using RZWQM2 model for maize in Colorado</i>

Response of planting methods and deficit irrigation on growth and yield attributes of maize under semi-arid conditions

“…Stem diameter is decrease when maize received stress in vegetative stage due to high evapotranspiration rat and low photosynthetic rate. [14,15] reported that stem thickness was increased with water. Maximum stem diameter (1.82 cm) was recorded from ridge planting method, followed by flat planting method had stem diameter (1.57 cm).…”
