Regulating planting density and nitrogen(N)fertilization could delay chlorophyll(Chl)degradation and leaf senescence in maize cultivars.This study measured changes in ear leaf green area(GLAear),Chl con-tent,the activities of Chl a-degrading enzymes after silking,and the post-silking dry matter accumulation and grain yield under multiple planting densities and N fertilization rates.The dynamic change of GLAear after silking fitted to the logistic model,and the GLAear duration and the GLAear at 42 d after silking were affected mainly by the duration of the initial senescence period(T1)which was a key factor of the leaf senescence.The average chlorophyllase(CLH)activity was 8.3 times higher than pheophytinase activity and contributed most to the Chl content,indicating that CLH is a key enzyme for degrading Chl a in maize.Increasing density increased the CLH activity and decreased the Chl content,T1,GLAear,and GLAear duration.Under high density,appropriate N application reduced CLH activity,increased Chl content,prolonged T),alleviated high-density-induced leaf senescence,and increased post-silking dry matter accumulation and grain yield.
