“…Soybean yielded the same in the Mississippi Delta of the US when planted in twin-row and single-row patterns [35,36]. Gozubenli et al [37] reported a 4% yield increase in twin-row corn at high populations (60,000 plants ha −1 to 135,000 plants ha −1 ) compared with single-rows. Novacek et al [38] reported no yield advantage of twin rows over single rows in Nebraska.…”

Effective weed control in corn (Zea mays L.) is important to optimize yield. Concern over environmental impact of atrazine and selection for glyphosate resistance has increased the need to develop alternative strategies that use herbicides other than atrazine and glyphosate and appropriate cultural practices to control weeds. Research was conducted during 2011 and 2012 to determine weed and corn response to herbicide programs containing dicamba, glufosinate, and glyphosate applied postemergence alone or with atrazine in single-and twin-row planting patterns. Planting pattern had no effect on common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) and Texas panicum (Panicum texanum L.) population and did not interact with herbicide program. Effective weed control hastened maturity in some but not all instances. Under weed-free conditions, corn grain yield was higher in 5 of 7 trials when planted in twin rows versus single rows at equivalent corn populations (141,000 plants ha −1 ). These results suggest that while planting pattern may not impact weed control dramatically, planting corn in twin rows may be an effective alternative to single-row planting patterns because of increased yield under high corn populations.

“…In the experiments of Dawadi and Sah (2012), Mohseni (2013) and Roekel and Coulter (2011), the maximum yields were obtained at similar plant densities (60-80 thousand plants ha -1 ), though under different ecological and agrotechnical conditions. The optimum plant density was higher (90 thousand plants ha -1 ) in the experiments of Widdicombe and Thelen (2002), Gozübenli et al (2004) and Lashkari et al (2011). The evaluation of the hybrids' yields at different plant densities proved that the hybrids responded with a different yield fluctuation to the changes in the plant density.…”

“…There was no significant difference between the yields of 66666 plants ha -1 and 83333 plants ha -1 (10.54 t ha -1 ). Gozübenli et al (2004) and Lashkari et al (2011) found that plant density has a significant effect on yield. The yield increased up to the plant density of 90000 plants ha -1 (10973 kg ha -1 ), above that value it was reduced.…”

The plant density response of 12 maize hybrids was tested in a favourable year (2013) under optimum agrotechnical conditions on chernozem soil by applying plant densities of 50, 70 and 90 thousand plants ha -1 . Due to the favourable ecological and agrotechnical conditions yields varied between 11400 and 16300 kg ha -1 depending upon the hybrid and the plant density. From among the hybrids, 5 and 7 produced the maximum yield at 70 and 90 thousand plants ha -1 , respectively however the yield increment was not significant between 70 thousand plants ha -1 and 90 thousand plants ha -1 . No relationship was found between the season length and the optimum plant density of hybrids. Those hybrids were the most favourable, which gave a stable high yield at different plant densities that is their optimum plant density range was wide (P 9175, P 9494, SY Afinity). Hybrids with a small optimum plant density range (P 9578, DKC 4490, PR 37N01) gave the highest yield at a specific plant density (70 thousand plants ha -1 or 90 thousand plants ha -1 ). A special complex coordinate system was developed for evaluation for the plant density response of maize genotypes specific ecological and agrotechnical conditions can be evaluated jointly.

“…Late initiated ear-shoots may receive smaller amount of photosynthates due to increased competition between the ear and other plant organs resulting in reduced number of kernels per ear. Increased competition due to dense population may also lead to abortion of ovary and eventually producing lesser number of kernels increasing barrenness [58]. Comparing the response of old and modern maize hybrids Sangoi and Salvador [59], however, reported that high plant population decreased number of grains per ear of dwarf lines and did not affect this variable for modern hybrids.…”
