Abstract
SUMMARYField studies were conducted in 1989 and 1990 to investigate the effect of planting density on growth and yield of maize under irrigation in the Batinah Coast region, an arid zone in the Sultanate of Oman. Two maize cultivars, Eperon and Challenger, were grown at three densities (24000, 48000 and 74000 plants/ha). Grain yield was highest at 48000 plants/ha. Leaf area index (LAI) increased with increase in plant density but was not related to grain yield. Lodging was highly correlated with shelling percentage.
