Resumen:

Delayed sowing date of maize (Zea mays L.) has become a broadly adopted practice in the Pampas region of Argentina, because late-sown crops frequently experience a more favorable water balance around flowering and a reduction in the year-to-year yield variation. However, breeding efforts in this region have been focused on early sowing date environments. In addition, there has been no research on genetic progress of grain yield and the underlying attributes under late-sowing conditions. The aim of this study was to compare genetic progress in grain yield and secondary traits for hybrids released between 1980 and 2016 when grown in early- versus late sowing environments in the central Pampas region. Grain yield, its components (kernel number and kernel weight), and its physiological determinants (total shoot biomass and harvest index) were assessed in two contrasting sowing dates during three years. Biomass at silking (BR1) and during the post-silking period (BR1-R6), plant growth rate and source-sink ratios during the critical and the effective kernel-filling periods were also analyzed. Grain yield genetic progress was similar for early (0.9 per cent y-1) relative to late sowing dates (0.8 per cent y-1). Kernel number increase with the year of release (YOR) was more important in early (0.6 per cent y-1) than in late (0.4 per cent y-1) sowings, whereas the opposite trend was documented for kernel weight (0.2% and 0.3 per cent y-1, respectively). Newer hybrids showed greater biomass production in both sowing dates (0.8 per cent y-1 for early, 0.6 per cent y-1 for late) and a slight increase in harvest index in late sowings (0.2 per cent y-1). Breeding effects on shoot biomass production were exclusively attributed to the post-silking period (1.2% y-1 for early and 0.9% y-1 for late), as BR1 remained unchanged with YOR. Assimilate availability per kernel during the effective kernel filling increased with YOR in both sowing dates (1.0 per cent y-1 for early and 0.9 per cent y-1 for late), promoting a longer kernel filling duration. Results demonstrated that breeding efforts focused on early sowings as the main target environment, have also impacted yield gains in late sowings. However, the enhanced importance of kernel weight on grain yield determination among late- than among early sowings will demand future breeding strategies to pay special attention to unfavorable photothermal conditions during kernel filling.
