옥수수의 밀도를 소(60cm 40cm), 적(60cm 24cm), 밀식(60cm 16cm)으로 심고 초형처리로서 자연초형(남북이랑), 동서향교정(남북이랑), 동서향교정 및 엽각조정(남북이랑), 남북향교정(동서이랑)을 실시하였다. 초형교정은 엽출현이 완료된 뒤 철사가를 옥수수군락에 설치하고 옥수수잎들은 동서향이 되록 유인하여 고정시키고, 엽각조정은 수평에서 80˚ 가 되도록 직입화시켰다. 옥수수의 자연초형은 남북이랑이든 동서이랑이든 관계없이 모든 방위로 고루 분포하였고 약간의 남북향 경향을 보였으나 현저하지 않았고 엽각은 직입~중간엽형의 분포를 나타내었다. 군락내부에서 광투과는 초형을 동서향으로 교정하거나 엽각을 직립화시킴에 따라 초고의 중간높이에서 일평균 광도가 5~10% 가량 향상되었다. 반면 남북향 초형교정에서는 2~10% 정도 낮아졌다. 황숙기의 건물중집적은 밀식시 동서향초형이 자연초형 보다 6% 증가하였으나 남북향초형은 차이가 없었다. 완숙기의 종실수량에서는 동서향 초형교정은 3~11% 증가하였으나, 엽각조정까지 하였을 때에는 소식에서 10% 감소, 적. 밀식에서는 10%, 3%씩 각각 대조구보다 증가하였다. 반면 남북향초형은 차이가 없거나 감수로 나타난다. 초형을 태양의 방위와 고도를 고려하여 변형한다면 밀식에서도 일사광의 군낙내부로 침투를 용이하게 하며 증수할 수 있음이 확인되었다.
A hypothesis that artificial reforming of corn canopy could improve solar light penetration and dry matter production was tested in corn fields (var. Suwon 19) with three planting densities; low (60 ~times 40cm), medium (60 ~times 24cm) and high (60 ~times 16cm). Natural canopy was found that leaf orientations were even over all azimuth but somewhat inclined toward north-south direction and leaf angle ranged 38~circ to 71~circ from horizontal surface. Reforming corn canopy included following treatments: 1) natural canopy planted in north-south rows (natural canopy), 2)east-west plane canopy planted in north-south rows (E-W canopy), 3)east-west plane canopy and upright leaves in north-south rows, 4)north-south plane canopy (N-S canopy) in east-west rows. After corn plots were installed with training system by supporting poles and connecting wires, corn leaves were induced to a reforming direction and tied on wire. Average light intensity at the mid-point of plant height showed 5-10% increases in E-W canopy and in E-W canopy plus upright leaves, but a 2-10% decrease in N-S canopy from natural canopy. At yellow ripe stage, total dry wt. was increased in E-W canopy but not in N-S canopy. The E-W canopy produced 3-10% more grain yield than natural canopy. Though E-W canopy plus upright leaves yielded less at low density, it yielded up to 10% more at higher density. The N-S canopy yielded similar to low compared with natural canopy. These results suggests that reforming canopy toward solar incident direction increases light penetration into lower canopy, photosynthetic efficiency and grain yield, especially at high planting density in corn.
