{"product_id":"environmental-and-management-factor-contributions-frederick-e-below-9783038976127","title":"Environmental and Management Factor Contributions to Maize Yield","description":"\u003cp\u003eAgricultural production must increase substantially to meet the increasing per capita demand for food, feed, fuel, and fiber of a rising human census. The amount of arable land is limited due to soil type, weather, and ecosystem considerations; therefore, it is necessary to increase yields on current fields. To obtain the greatest maize (\u003cem\u003eZea mays\u003c\/em\u003e L.) yield, a farmer needs to nurture the crop as much as possible. Weather and nitrogen availability are well- known as two factors that normally have the greatest influence on maize yields and grain quality. Some management factors a producer may need to consider while growing a maize crop are mineral fertilization, genotype, plant population, and protection from insects and diseases. Additionally, there are numerous biological and chemical compounds that can stimulate plant growth, such as in-furrow mixes and foliar fungicides. Field management also plays a role in final grain yield, including crop rotation, tillage, soil pH and nutrient levels, weed control, and drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Special Issue Book focuses on weather, soil, and other maize crop management factors and their relative independent and\/or interactive influence on maize growth and yield.]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederick E.
