Effects of Population Levels on Yield and Maturity of Maize Hybrids Grown on the Northern Great Plains1

Darrold E. Termunde, D. B. Shank and V. A. Dirks2

Synopsis: Plant production reached a maximum at 12,000 to 16,000 plants per acre in eastern South Dakota. Grain production reached a maximum at the same level and fell off drastically if population levels exceeded this optimum. Under conditions of drouth, maximum yields may be associated with very low population levels.
