Abstract: Chilling at germination and seedling stage is one of restrictive factor for maize distribution and achieving high yield. Improving of chilling tolerance through cultivation technique measures played important roles inmaize production. In this paper, we reviewed effects of chilling at germination and seedling stage on maize growthand internal physiology processes. Several management strategies to alleviate chilling stress were also proposed andevaluated in order to provide feasible regimes for chilling tolerance cultivation.

Key words: Maize, Low temperature, Chilling tolerance, Cultivation technique
