摘要
The objective of this work was to determine the effects of using narrow row spacing on grain yield, grain components and on other agronomic traits of maize single-cross hybrids. Two experiments were conducted in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. In the 1997/98 growing season, treatments were composed by two single-cross hybrids (Cargill 901 and Braskalb XL 212) and four row spacings (40, 60, 80 and 100 cm). In the 1998/99 growing season, two single-cross hybrids were tested at two plant densities (50,000 and 65,000 pl./ha) and four row spacings (40, 60, 80 and 100 cm). Maize grain yield was influenced by hybrid and plant density. The reduction in row spacing promoted a high grain yield specially for hybrids with a low plant height sown at the density of 50,000 pl./ha.
