Manipulating plant geometry to improve microclimate, grain yield, and harvest index in grain sorghum.
Cultivar selection, planting geometry, and plant population are the key factors determining grain sorghum yields in water deficit areas. The objective of this study was to investigate whether clump geometry (three plants clustered) improves microclimate within crop canopy when plants are grown under...
