Assessing effects of temperature driven by sowing dates on the grain filling and kernel weight of corn in the North China Plain
With the global climate changing, the intensity and frequency of high temperatures are expected to increase. To reduce corn yield loss due to high temperature in North China Plain advancing sowing dates from mid-June to late May is recommended. It is concluded that early sowing could effectively prolong the active grain filling duration and offset the decline in grain filling rate caused by high temperatures. The findings demonstrated advancing sowing dates improved the grain filling and yield of summer corn, thereby mitigating high temperature stress under global warming.
