摘要： Food equivalent unit (FEU) is a vector used to measure the value of food based on its calorie and protein content and their digestibility. However, the optimal planting density and N application rate for maximizing the FEU yield (FEUY) of forage maize (Zea mays L.) is still poorly understood in the fast-growing animal husbandry regions of the Chinese Loess Plateau. Here, a 2-year consecutive field experiment was conducted to explore the impacts of planting density, N application rate, and their interactions on growth, dry matter yield (DMY), forage quality, and FEUY of a dominant forage maize cultivar. Planting density significantly affected the stem diameter, LAI, DMY, and dry matter allocation (DMA) of the leaf. Initially, increasing the N rate increased the stem diameter, LAI, FEUY, and DMY of forage maize and then decreased. The stem diameter, LAI, FEUY and aboveground DMY peaked under 180 kg center dot ha- 1 N in both years. Moreover, N application significantly increased the crude protein content of the whole plant and decreased the acid detergent fiber content. The surface fittings of the 2-year study indicated that 110,000 plants center dot ha- 1 (plant density) and 171.2 kg center dot ha- 1 (N rate) obtained the greatest DMY (19.0 t center dot ha- 1). The grade index (a comprehensive evaluation index for forage quality) peaked at 15.4 MJ center dot d-1 under 94,000 plants ha-1 and 270 kg center dot ha- 1. The 110,000 plants center dot ha- 1 plant density and 181.5 kg center dot ha- 1 N rate jointly maximized the FEUY (11,125.4 FEU center dot ha- 1), maintaining 99.9 % of the maximum DMY and 97.5 % of the maximum grade index. Thus, 110,000 plants center dot ha- 1 plant density and 181.5 kg center dot ha- 1 N rate are recommended for high-productivity forage maize production, without notably compromising dry matter yield and feed quality. This research is conducive to advancing the coordinated development of forage crop cultivation and herbivorous livestock farming in semi-arid rainfed areas.
