High-density corn planting pattern boosts photosynthesis and yield during grain filling.

Maize Yield

Planting more corn plants in a field can increase grain yield and photosynthesis, but can also affect chlorophyll levels. The spacing between rows also plays a role, with a row spacing of '80 cm+40 cm' leading to higher grain yield and better photosynthesis efficiency. This study shows that at higher plant densities, a row spacing of '80 cm+40 cm' can improve corn growth and yield.
