Article Synopsis
- Plants work well because of many different traits that are connected, like their structure and how they use water.
- We studied maize (corn) using a computer program that helps us see how these traits affect plant growth in different weather conditions.
- Our findings show that plants can be really successful in wet conditions if they use a lot of water, while in dry conditions, they need to save water to do well, and looking at these traits together helps us understand how plants grow better.
This data set was collected over two years, 2012-2013, on maize under 12 irrigation treatments with varying levels of deficit during late-vegetative and grain-filling growth stages in semi-arid Northern Colorado supplied with surface drip irrigation. The data set, which can be found online at the USDA National Agricultural Library data repository (doi: 10.15482/USDA.
