Dense Planting: A Promising Strategy for Enhancing Maize Yield and Bridging the Yield Gap

Dense planting of maize has emerged as a successful strategy for enhancing maize yields, providing opportunities to narrow the yield gap. This approach offers a promising pathway to achieve higher maize productivity, contributing to both food security and sustainable agricultural practices. Our findings suggest that dense planting can play a significant role in bridging the gap between actual and potential yields, ultimately contributing to a more efficient and resilient agricultural system.
