The effect of light intensity on the growth and development of maize (Zea mays L.) hybrid single cross 704 was studied .A special net was used to intercept the solar radiation
A complect randomize block with four replications and four treetments was employed i.e .100% of light intensity (as control) , 25%,50% and 75% interception
The results showed that light was an important factor affecting the growth and development of plants.It was concluded that optimum plant density could increase the yield.
