S Illinois | Except your are not presenting an argument for his line of thinking. The paper that you were referencing was studying tropical maize. Much like trying to apply indeterminate qualities of soybeans to determinate types.
His words:
"I can imagine a couple of situations. One, we know that corn is very day length sensitive, at least the corn we grown here in the middle latitudes. This corn has to experience day length shortening to initiate reproduction, does that also apply to grain fill and senescence? If that's the case it might not matter how hot it's been but just the calendar.
Corn reproduction today "here" does not require any type of day length shortening to initiate reproduction. Corn will reproduce just fine in mid-June while days are still lengthening and will mature in mid-Aug. You may want to study up on the growing seasons of corn in the southern US and Texas.
So I would recommend maybe you do a little more research before presenting your arguments. | |
