Article Synopsis
- The study examined the growth traits of 18 maize hybrids in both natural and artificial shade-humid environments, revealing significant differences between the two conditions.
- In the shade-humid environment, key factors like air relative humidity, soil moisture, and illumination intensity changed, leading to reductions in important growth traits such as plant height and grain yield.
- A shade-humid-tolerant coefficient was developed to evaluate the hybrids' tolerance levels, classifying them into three categories: strongly-resistant, moderately-resistant, and weakly-resistant to shade-humid conditions.
