Over the past several years, various experiments have been conducted at the SWREC-Tribune station, evaluating the yield response to various planting geometries for dryland corn and grain sorghum production. The impact of planting geometry and plant population on water use, water use efficiency, physiological yield components, light interception, biomass yield, and grain yield will be summarized.
