Abstract:

【Objective】To screen varieties of dryland spring maize suitable for planting in Shanxi Province.【Methods】From 2020 to 2021,four spring maize varieties with good growth and high yield were selected as experimental materials and tested at two test sites of Chaoyang Town,Shouyang County and Dongyang Town,Yuci District in Jinzhong City. Using single factor randomized block design,the agronomic traits,photosynthetic characteristics,and dry matter accumulation of spring maize varieties were compared and the correlation analysis on yield and yield components were performed.【Results】At the test site in Chaoyang Town,Shouyang County,Dafeng 30 and Dika 159 had excellent agronomic traits,strong photosynthetic characteristics,high dry matter accumulation in leaves and panicles,and low dry matter accumulation in stems. The average yield increased by 3.59% and 1.70% compared to Taiyuan No. 9(CK),respectively. At the test site in Dongyang Town,Yuci District,the photosynthetic characteristics and dry matter accumulation of Dafeng 30 were significantly higher than those of Jindan 86 in the early growth stage,while there was no significant difference between the two in the later growth stage. Compared with Jinboshi 806(CK),the average yields of Dafeng 30 and Jindan 86 increased by 4.13% and 3.69%,respectively. The yield of spring maize was negatively correlated with bald tip length,but positively correlated with ear length,number of grains per ear,100-grain weight,and yield per plant.【Conclusion】Dafeng 30,Dika 159,and Jindan 86 were suitable for large-scale demonstration and promotion planting in the dryland spring maize planting areas of Shanxi.
