Maisanbau - welcher Reihenabstand ist der Richtige?

Abstract

Every square meter counts in maize cultivation in order to help meet the challenges of higher farmland rents and the global requirement to get as much yield out a steadily shrinking total of available land. The results presented here from the examination of different sowing widths with maize come from several years’ trials on different locations in Schleswig–Holstein using agricultural machinery from practical farming. It seems possible that yield of maize can be increased by specific sowing techniques involving different row widths and this must be considered when planning sowing strategies and buying appropriate drilling machinery.
