- Intervention effect Short-stature maize systems reduced carbon intensity of grain production by an average of 13% compared with tall comparators.
- Intervention effect Short-stature maize hybrids had yields comparable to tall comparators under standard management.
- Intervention effect In-season access and higher plant populations improved the yield and efficiency of short-stature maize production.
- Intervention effect Root volume was 39% higher in short-stature maize hybrids than in tall hybrids.
