What is it about?
Comparing combinations of three plant densities, three nitrogen levels and 21 maize hybrids and inbreds to identify the combination of optimum plant density, adequate nitrogen fertilizer application with the greatest maize genoytpe efficiency.

Why is it important?
Maximizing maize productivity from land unit area.
Perspectives
Some hybrids of maize could double their productivity and give ca 20 ton/ha if they were grown at plant density of ca 95000 plants/ha, but provided they are given high N fertilizer rate.
