Seasonal rainfall patterns affect rainfed maize production more than management of soil moisture and different plant densities on sandy soils of semi-arid regions

In semi-arid regions, erratic rainfall and water losses through percolation are causing low yields of rainfed maize (Zea mays L.) grown on sandy soils. This study evaluated the effects of soil moisture management and different plant densities across four cropping seasons on rainfed maize performance...
