Global Maize Project in China: Dahe, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province
Project was initiated in 2009 from summer maize rotated with winter wheat to test how the performance of ecological intensification (EI) compares to that of current farmer practice (FP).
IPNI-2009-CHN-GM21
This long-term experiment was initiated in 2009 at the Dahe Experimental Station, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, where summer maize followed by winter wheat is the main cropping system. The experiment had two main plots of ecological intensification (EI) and farmers’ practices (FP), and three subplots of nitrogen (N) application: N applied in all years (N all yr); N applied in two out of three years (N 2/3 yr): and no N applied in any years (N 0 yr).
