Determining the Grain Yield and Nutritional Composition of Maize Cultivars in Different Growing Groups

Abstract

Due to its adaptability to different climates, short growing period, high photosynthetic capacity and yield, maize is an important crop widely grown all over the world. This study was conducted to determine grain yield and some nutrition traits of 18 maize cultivars in Bilecik ecological conditions in 2019 and 2020 years. Experiments were carried out in randomized complete block design with three replications. There were significant (P

Determination of Yield and Yield Components of Popcorn (Zea mays L. everta) Genotypes

“…Maize is one of the economically important cereal crops with versatile usage. Globally, 60% of maize production is used in animal feed, 27% as raw material, 11% in food production, and 4% for other purposes (Anonim, 2016;Mut et al, 2022). In Türkiye, 35% of the produced maize is used for human consumption, 30% for animal feed as silage, and 20% in the feed industry (Gençtan et al, 1995).…”

Adjusting the sowing date of fresh maize to promote grain filling, key starch synthesis enzymes, and yield

“…Fresh maize is the type of maize that is harvested at milk maturity for consumption and processing, mainly including sweet maize (Zea mays L. saccharata Sturt), waxy maize (Zea mays L. sinensis Kulesh) and sweet-waxy maize. With the adjustment of agricultural planting structure and the change in dietary structure, fresh corn has been widely planted worldwide (Mut et al 2022, Kumar et al 2023. Especially in China, the rapid development of fresh maize in the past two decades, the introduction of new cultivars,…”
