Dry matter accumulation of 12 leaf stage, silking stage and maturity stage in 2017 (left) and 2018 (right). The three N rates are 120 (N1), 180 (N2), and 240 (N3) kg ha−1. The three planting density levels are 60,000 (D1), 75,000 (D2), and 90,000 plants ha−1 (D3). Symbols represent means ± standard error. Vertical bars indicate standard error. Different letters within the same stage are significantly different at the 0.05 probability level.
