The lack of coordination between corn varieties and cultivation techniques has often resulted in low production. “Xundan 20” is a compact and high-yield corn variety with large planting area. It has been recommended as a suitable variety for cultivation in Anhui Province by China’s Ministry of Agriculture. To realize the full yield potential of “Xundan 20” in Anhui Province, the effects of different configuration of planting density, row spacing and row direction on field microclimatic conditions and grain yield formation were studied. The results suggested that increasing maize plant row spacing increased daily average wind speed and illumination. Also increasing maize plant row spacing decreased accumulated temperature and daily average relative humidity. Under the same density and row spacing, daily average wind speed and illumination in east-west planting patterns were higher than those in south-north planting patterns. However, accumulated temperature and daily average relative humidity showed the opposite trends for the planting
