Abstract

In trials with maize grown at between-plant spacing of 10, 15, or 75 cm in rows 45 cm apart and given 0-150 kg N/ha, leaves translocated 47.9-55.7% and stems translocated 22.7-45.9% of the total amount of N absorbed by them to the grain. The N translocation by leaves was increased and that by stems was decreased by the application of 50 kg N/ha. The effects of plant densities on N translocation from leaves and stems were inconsistent in 2 years, but on average translocation decreased slightly with increasing plant density
