Book excerpt: A study was conducted to evaluate hybrids, plant populations, and harvest date for forage corn (Zea mays L.) yeld and quality traits. Fiven open-pedigree hybrids of different relative maturities were grown at Nashua, lowa in 1978, 1979, and 1980 at three plant population densities (50,423, 64,829, and 79,235 plants per hectare). A split-plot design was used for traits related to grain yield and a split-split-plot for traits related to forage production. Three differente harvest dates (30,45, and 60 days after mid-silk) were used to determine the relative values for forage traits. Combined analysis of variance detected significant linear effects among plant populations for all traits except mature grain weight, moisture content of mature grain, mature grain corrected for moisture, and harvest index. Harvest index did not show significant effects among plant populations. Increases in dry matter yield and decreases in dry matter content corresponded to increases in plant population levels for dry matter yield. Differences among hybrids were detected in the combined analysis of variance for all traits except dried ear weight and dried grain weight. The latest maturity hybrid (B73 ht x Mo17 ht) was higher and the earliest maturing hybrid (A619 ht x A632 ht) was lower in dry matter yield; na average increase of 20.3% in dry matter yield would be possible with the latest hybrid. Differnces among harvest dates in the combined analyses were significant for green stover weight, dried ear weight, dried grain weight; and harvest index, indicating linear effects. Phenotypic na genotypic correlations between traits for all hybrids, such as between mature grain yield corrected for moisture and dried stover weight (0.605 and 0.597), mature grain corrected for moisture and days to mid-silk (0763 and 0.804), and dried plant weight and days to mid-silk (0.992 and 1.00), were stimated. Relatively later maturing hybrids had acceptable levels of dry matter, crude protein, and digestible dry matter na could possibly be used for forage corn production in short season areas. Further research on qualitative and qualitative forage traits is necessary for developing breeding programs for forage corn.

Download or read book Maize Nutrition Dynamics and Novel Uses written by Dharam Paul Chaudhary and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maize is a globally important crop mainly utilized as feed, food and raw material for diverse industrial applications. Among cereals, it occupies third place after rice and wheat and is a staple food for a large segment of population worldwide particularly in the Asian as well as African countries. This monogram discusses various aspects of nutritional quality of maize such as quality protein maize which has been considered as most significant discovery in enhancing nutritional quality of cereals in terms of increasing the concentration of essential amino acids. The biochemistry of starch which is an important industrial product of maize has been discussed in detail. Further, the role of maize oil which is highly regarded for human consumption as it reduces the blood cholesterol concentration has also been elaborated. Naturally, maize is a rich source of carotenoids such as beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, lutein, cryptoxanthin which have highly diverse health benefits ranging from maintaining normal vision to lowering of oxidative stress. The need for biofortification of maize for provitamin A carotenoids and their role in alleviating vision impairments have also been discussed. The effect of various biotic and abiotic stresses particularly carbon dioxide and temperature on quality has been discussed thoroughly. Many value-added products as well as fermented foods that have been produced from maize which is consumed in different forms worldwide are also discussed. The aspects related to the maize application as fodder and as a source of malting have also been covered concisely. Overall, the book provides complete information about various quality aspects of maize. The various stakeholders such as maize researchers, extension specialists, students, teachers as well as farmers will be immensely benefitted from this monogram.

This book was released on 2018-06-21 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FAO’s best-selling 2011 publication, Save and Grow, proposed a new paradigm of agriculture, one that is both highly productive and environmentally sustainable. This new book looks at the application of “Save and Grow” practices and technologies to production of the world’s key food security crops – maize, rice and wheat. With examples drawn from developing countries worldwide, it shows how eco-friendly farming systems are helping smallholder producers to boost cereal yields, improve their incomes and livelihoods, conserve natural resources, reduce negative impacts on the environment, and build resilience to climate change. The book will be a valuable reference for policymakers and development practitioners guiding the transition to sustainable food and agriculture.
