Pattern of above‐ground biomass accumulation in maize cultivars grown for silage

摘要：

Maize is the preferred plant species for silage‐making in the Highlands of Mexico, the variable amount and distribution of rainfall of the region makes farmers choose between short and long growing cycles maize cultivars.The first ones are safer to achieve the stage for silage‐cut but usually at lower total yield than long cultivars ; however, the quality of maize silage depends on the proportion of leaves and grain within the total yield.The objective of this study was to determine leaf and grain yields in maize cultivars of short to long growing cycles.
