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 (Zea mays 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. This 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.] 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 610 $aCrop production 610 $aCrop management 610 $aMaize high-yield 610 $aCrop Population density 610 $aMaize rotation 610 $aCrop protection 610 $aCrop fertilization 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 700 $aSeebauer$b Juliann R$01787321 702 $aBelow$b Frederick E 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346678603321 996 $aEnvironmental and Management Factor Contributions to Maize Yield$94320544 997 $aUNINA
