Abstract:

The aim of this research was to screen the appropriate planting density for double ear type waxy new maize variety Wancainuo 88 and explore the potential to achieve increased yield,field experiment was carried out to study the important plant traits,double ear rate,yield and yield component traits of Wancainuo 88 compared under the different planting densities.The study results showed that as planting density increased,the plant height,ear height,dual fruits silking interval and second ear silkingx-anthesis interval all increased,while the first ear silking-anthesis interval and double ear rate decreased.The planting density indirectly or directly affected to the double ear rate by changing the dual fruits silking interval,first ear silking-anthesis interval and second ear silking-anthesis interval.There were significant or highly significant responses of yield and its component traits for the first ear and second ear to planting density,except for the ear rows and ear length of first ear.With the planting density increased from 30 000 to 60 000 plants/ha,the first fresh ear yield,overall fresh ear yield,first fresh grain yield,overall fresh grain yield were increased 5 366.10,3 465.98,3 302.85,2 165.60 kg/ha,respectively.The second fresh ear yield and fresh ear yield were decreased 1 900.12,1 137.25 kg/ha,respectively.There was not significant for overall fresh ear yield and overall fresh grain yield among the 48 000,54 000,60 000 plants/ha,but extremely significant higher than the other planting density.Based on the above research results,the optimal planting density for new variety Wancainuo 88 was 48 000 plants/ha could be initially used for field planting.

Key words: Waxy maize, Planting density, Double ear rate, Yield, Response
