Yield Verses Sowing Dates
Keywords:
Sowing date, Maize variety, Crop phenology, Harvesting datesAbstract
Every year, Pakistan grows its most important staple food crop, maize, on Pakistan's largest farmland. The province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa gets around half of what the rest of Pakistan does. In Pakistan's Peshawar region, scientists are attempting to determine the best time of year to sow OPV and hybrid varieties. It was observed that the sowing date had an impact on plant height and crop phenology. Additionally, sowing dates had an adverse effect on crop yield attributes. In terms of phenology and morphology, height, leaf area, cobs per plant, and plant weight, all had an effect on biomass and grain yields. According to research, the late June planting of maize crops after harvesting wheat or berseem significantly reduces productivity in the region. However, planting in August does not allow grains to mature sufficiently. Increased maize crop losses are seen in the Peshawar valley beginning around July 15.
