Abstract:

To explore the effects of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) on spring maize growth and yield and its physiological mechanisms, a split-spot experiment was conducted in Gongzhuling experiment station, Jilin Province. Maize hybrid Zhongdan 909 was used with low (45 000 plant/hm 2), middle (75 000 plant/hm 2) and high (105 000 plant/hm 2) planting population. The results showed that the yield increased by 9.7% and 4.9% in the densities of 45 000 and 75 000 plant/hm 2 compared with the control ALA treatments, respectively. Under the density of 75 000 plant/hm 2, ALA treatment increased maize thousand kernel weight, dry matter accumulation at harvest, leaf area index after anthesis, SPAD value and net photosynthetic rate by 3.7%, 4.3%, 6.8%, 2.5% and 15.7%, respectively, compared with that of control treatment under the same plant density. In conclusion, ALA improved canopy structure of maize plant in field conditions, delayed leaf senescence process, increased aboveground dry matter accumulation, which in turn, increased maize yield. Therefore, ALA could be used as a technical measure for high and stable yield of spring maize in Northeast China.

Key words: ALA, Spring maize, Density, Population structure, Yield
