Experiment for Screening Maize Varieties under Belt Compound Planting of Maize-Soybean in Mianxian
Compared with monoculture,the objective of maize-soybean belt compound planting technology is to maintain maize yield while increasing the yield of soybeans under belt compounding planting conditions..Spacing of plant row changes significanly compared with conventional maize planting.Factors such as increase of planting density,plant type.density tolerance,stress resistance,and yield of maize varieties are important indica-tors for successful application of this technology.The experiment results showed that'Denghai 605','Nongke-da No.8'and'Yanke 288'are the major maize varieties suitable for maize-soybean belt compound planting u-sing"1.8m belt type 2+2 patterns",while'Wudan No.2'and'Zhongjin 368'are maize varieties intended to be planted together in combination.
