Growth and Yield Response of Corn Hybrids with Different Canopy Types to Planting Density

옥수수 초형별 재식밀도에 따른 생육 및 수량반응

Grain yields of errect-leaved corn hybrids were reported to be increased as planting density(PD) increased compared to those of horizontal leaf type hybrids. This trial was conducted to investigate the difference between errect and horizontal-leaved hybrids in response to different PD. Grain yields of both type hybrids were decreased at the highest PD, however, that of horizontal-leaved hybrid, Ga209 ${\times}$ Ki14A, was decreased more than errect-leaved hybrids which indicated varietal difference in response to PD. Responses to PD for days to tasseling, plant height, ear height, and leaf angle were not significant, also, PD ${\times}$ hybrid interactions were not observed. Yield components were decreased as PD increased and there were no PD ${\times}$ hybrid interactions for these characters. Leaf angle was negatively correlated with grain yield and yield components except for kernel weight.

초형이 다른 옥수수의 재식밀도에 대한 반응차이를 구명하고자 직립형 초형과 수평형 초형 교잡종을 재식밀도를 달리하여 재배하고 종실수량 및 주요형질을 조사한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 공시된 4교잡종 모두 고밀식(10,000주 /10a)하에서 종실수량이 감소하였으나 직립형 교잡종보다 수평형 교잡종인 Ga209${\times}$Ki14A에서 감소의 폭이 더커서 초형간에 차이가 있었다. 2. 재식밀도 증가에 따라 초장은 짧아지고 착수고는 높아졌으나 초형간의 차이는 유의성이 없었다. 3. 수장, 열수, 및 열당입수는 재식밀도 증가에 따라 감소하였고 초형간에는 차이가 없었다. 4. 잎의 각도는 재식밀도에 따라 차이가 없었으며 종실수량, 수장, 열수 및 열당입수와 부의 상관을 보였다.
