Maize (Zea mays L.) grain yield responds greatly to plant density (D). However, the hybrid-plant density interaction usually found is not well understood. The objective of this work was to analyze responses of different maize hybrids to D considering their biomass plasticity and reproductive partitioning. Responses to D were ana-
