Effect of density on growth,yield and quality of MT-8,a distant hybrid of maize and teosinte
The experiment was to investigate the effect of different planting densities on the yield and quality of MT-8 in F8 generation of distant hybrid of maize and teosinte.MT-8 was used as the research material,and six planting densities of 52 500,60 000,67 500,75 000,82 500,and 90 000 plants/hm² were set up.The results showed that the both fresh weight and dry weight of MT-8 increased with the increase of planting density,and reached the maximum value when planting density was 75 000 plants/hm².At a planting density of 75 000 plants/hm2,MT-8 had higher nutrient yield and higher feeding value,and the nutrient type was NC.The study indicates that the suitable planting density of MT-8 is 75 000 plants/hm2.
