摘要： Background Limited research on waxy maize yield and commercial value in response to water-limited (WL) stress and its interactions with plant density (PD) in the field. Methods: in this study, we examined the effects on two water treatments the water-limited group, and the well-watered (WW) group at one location (Fangshan, China) for fresh waxy maize hybrid URN 2000), and three plant densities (3.75, 5.25, and 6.75 plants m(-2)) in 2017 and 2018 using a block design split randomly in the field. Results: fresh waxy maize ear yield, grain yield, and yield components were affected for all treatments after WL stress lasted more than 9 d at the jointing stage. Compared with the WW treatment, WL treatment significantly decreased the fresh ear yield by 4.95%, due to decreasing ear length in waxy maize. In contrast, fresh grain yield significantly reduced by 3.75%, largely because of decreasing kernel weight and numbers per ear. The optimal PD of fresh ear yield was 6.75 plants m(-2). Conclusions: across all plant densities, WW treatment significantly increased the ear length distribution percentage by 19.19%, which effectively expand the commercial value of fresh ears of waxy maize. We concluded that waxy maize yield and commercial value of single-ear could be enhanced by the application of WW treatment at the jointing stage under field conditions.
