The aim of this course is to determine the physiological period of maize and effect of environmental factors (temperature, rainfall, relative humidity and wind) on the period. In addition it can be made a show of some agricultural practices to provide optimal conditions.
With this course, corn vegetative (4 leaf, 8 leaf, 12 leaf, 16 leaf and tasseling) and reproductive (pollination, blister, milk stage, dough stage dent stage and physiological maturity stage) growth stages are indicated. Effect of some different environmental factors (temperature, rainfall, relative humidity and wind) on corn plant development is also emphasized. Some agronomical practices (tillage, fertilization, irrigation and pesticide application) In order to provide an optimum environment for plants are determined. It is described that effects of these practices on length of physiological period of plant and the resulting of products.
