View larger version (18K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1. Intrarow and interrow root length density as a function of soil depth for corn sown in 0.38-, 0.57-, and 0.76-m rows. Root length was determined at the time of silking on 20 July 1998 and 27 July 1999. Bars indicate LSD values.

Fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) intercepted by the canopy as a function of thermal time from emergence for corn sown in 0.38-, 0.57-, and 0.76-m rows during the 1998 and 1999 growing seasons near Morris, MN. Bars indicate LSD values.

View larger version (17K): [in a new window]   Fig. 3. Diurnal trend in soil temperature, air temperature, and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) on 24 June 1999 near Morris, MN. Soil temperature was measured at a depth of 1 cm in the intrarow (dashed lines) and interrow (solid lines) of corn sown in 0.38-, 0.57-, and 0.76-m rows.
