Effect of different treatments on total dry matter (shoot + root) plant−1 during maize growth stages in 2015 and 2016. L: low plant density (52500 plant ha−1); M: medium plant density (75000 plant ha−1); H: high plant density (97500plant ha−1); I0: plastic film ridges with no irrigation; IB: plastic film ridges and irrigation (375 m3 ha−1) at the bell stage; IF: plastic film ridges and irrigation (375 m3 ha−1) at the flowering stage; IBF: plastic film ridges and irrigation (750 m3 ha−1) at the bell and flowering stages; CK: traditional flat planting with plastic film mulching and no irrigation. Vertical bars represent the LSD at p = 0.05 (n = 3).
