Excessive planting density surpassing the carrying capacity of the environment can lead to a decrease in grain number and size as well as an increased risk of yield losses An ideal plant architecture

Excessive planting density, exceeding the environmental carrying capacity, can result in a reduction in both grain number and size, alongside an elevated risk of yield losses. Therefore, it is essential to establish an optimal plant architecture with a suitable canopy structure that effectively captures more solar radiation. This is crucial for successful dense planting and attaining high yields.
