A two‐year research study was designed to understand the possible interactions of plant density, row arrangement, and P fertility on grain yield and yield components of corn. The hypothesis was that yield improvements might be achieved with elevated plant density only when complementary management practices such as row arrangement, supplemental P fertility, and hybrid selection are used.
