## Abstract The cell wall phenolic components in the internodes of three maize genotypes, namely normal, bm2 and bm3 maize, were determined. The bm2 and bm3 brown midrib mutations lowered the lignin content of the bottom, middle and top internodes to a similar extent. However, unlike bm3, the bm2 t
Bitumen mulch was sprayed over maize drills in 15--20-cm bands at a thickness of 1--2 ram. The maximum soil temperature recorded at a depth of 10 cm was up to 4.3Β°C higher in the mulched plots compared to the control plots. During the growing season the maize in the mulched plots had consistently h
