Effect of Different Planting Methods on Growth and Yield of Maize

The results from a comparison experiment with five treatments of planting methods for maize, show that the different planting methods affect the yields, ear and plant characters, distribution range and quantity of root system and leaf area variously. Of five planting methods, the cultivation of directive setting single seedling in doublerow style of widenarrow space intercropping ensured the best growth of maize plants along biological regularity. The yield of this planting method is up to 9313.5kg/ha, increasing by 59.29% compared with those of the other planting methods. 
