Interactive Effects of Planting Density and Nitrogen Rate on Maize Root Architecture, Soil Nitrogen Cycling, and Water and Nitrogen Use Efficiencies

Optimizing planting density and nitrogen (N) application is essential for sustaining maize yield while reducing water use and N inputs. However, their interactive effects on belowground root development and the soil N environment remain poorly understood. A two-year field experim...
