Impacts of Some Climate Parameters on the Yield and Quality of Maize Growth in the Çukurova Region, Turkey

In this study was conducted to investigate of direct and indirect impacts of climatic events during the last 11 years (1996-2006) in the çukurova region, the greatest maize production potential of turkey. in conclusion, it was determined that decreases in maize yield in çukurova region was depending on both high temperature and low relative humidity or high temperature and high relative humidity. in growth stage of maize was determined to be important polynomial relationships among yield with average temperature and relative humidity values. it can be said that generative and vegetative growth of maize crop slows down under the unfavorable climate conditions.
