• W2223168695 abstract "For each grain production system, there is an optimum row spacing and plant density that optimises the use of available resources, allowing the expression of maximum attainable grain yield in that specific environment. Introduction of the ultra-fast maize hybrids raised the question whether existing guidelines for row spacing and plant density were still applicable. This necessitated the integration of optimum row spacing by plant density to maintain productivity and sustainability the yields with the intention to increase water use efficiency. Field experiments were conducted for two successive cropping seasons (2008/9 to 2009/10) at Kenilworth Experimental Station of the Department of Soil, Crop and Climate Sciences, University of the Free State to evaluate the growth, agronomic performance, phenological development and water use efficiency of an ultra-fast maize hybrid at varying row spacing and plant densities under irrigation. The treatments involved in this study were three row spacings (0.225, 0.45 and 0.90 m) and five plant densities (50 000, 75 000, 100 000, 125 000 and 150 000 plant ha). The treatments were arranged in a factorial combination and laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. The largest block was used for periodic destructive sampling for growth analysis where a completely randomized design was adopted and replications consisted of five (5) single plants randomly selected. Regarding soil water monitoring, twenty neutron probe access tubes were installed prior to planting in the center of each plot in one of the three blocks of the agronomic study. Soil water content was measured at 0.3 m intervals to a depth of 1.8 m using a calibrated neutron probe. Measurements were made at weekly intervals from planting to crop physiological maturity where the volumetric reading was converted into depth of water per 1.8 m. Seasonal ET (water use) was determined by solving the ET components of the water balance equation. From this water use efficiency was computed as the ratio of total biomass/grain yield to seasonal ET. In each season crop growth, agronomic, phenologic and water use efficiency parameters were measured and the collected data were combined over seasons after carrying the homogeneity test of variances. Growth parameters, agronomic traits, phenology and water use efficiency of maize reacted differently to row spacing and plant density and the combination thereof. In general a slow increase in growth parameters during establishment was followed by an exponential increase during the vegetative phase. At the reproductive phase growth ceased following the onset of flowering. Photosynthetic efficiency (NAR) and CGR, averaged over row spacing, were highest at a plant density of 100 000 plants ha at all growth phases. Reducing row spacing from 0.45 to 0.225 m and a plant density below or" @default.
