Stemflow of water on maize and its influencing factors

Stemflow is important for analyzing soil water dynamics and plant growth in regions with limited rainfall. The objective of this study was to determine the amount of stemflow in relation to plant and rainfall properties. In this study, stemflow was measured using a high water adsorption sheet method during the period of maize plant height growth approximately from 100 cm to 230 cm when the leaf area index increases from 1.0 to 4.5. There were 28...
