Abstract:

In order to determine the optimum planting density of the alpine-anti-season waxy corn, the effect of cultivation density on the main traits and economic benefits of the waxy corn ‘Minnuo 0018’ was studied in Mindong. The results showed that: when the planting density was 57000 plants/hm2, both the commodity traits and yield of fresh ear could be balanced better, and reached to higher economic benefit. Too high or too low planting density could weaken the yield of fresh ear and economic benefit. Therefore when the alpine-anti-season waxy corn ‘Minnuo 0018’ was cultivated in a large scale in the eastern Fujian, the optimum density was 5700 plants/hm2.
