Abstract【 Object 】 In order to study the effects of different sowing dates on female spike differentiation characteristics and grain yield of high-yield spring maize (≥15000 kg/hm2) in Xinjiang province, we analyzed the response of maize yield and yield components to different light-temperature combinations conditions, and revealed the growth mechanism of high yield spring maize in this paper. It will be helpful for providing the theoretical basis for further improving the maize yield in Xinjiang.【 Method 】 Experiments were conducted from 2012 to 2013 at Qitai and Xinyuan in Xinjiang with the hybrid Zhongdan909(ZD909). In 2012, there were four sowing dates in Qitai which were April 10, April 20, April 30 and May 10 respectively, and three dates in Xinyuan which were April 11, April 21 and April 31 respectively. In 2003, the sowing date of qitai were April 15, April 25 and May 5 and the sowing date of xinyuan were April 8, April 18, April 28 and May 8. At every experimental site the maize plant density was 12×104 plants /hm2. To ensure no fertilizer and water stress, ample fertilizer and water were applied.【Conclusion】Sowing dates was significantly effected the female spike differentiation of maize. With the sowing date delayed, the process of maize female spike differentiation was accelerated, the length and dry weight of female young spike differentiation decreased, and decreasing tendency was found in the total number of floret differentiation, the number of silking florets, fertilization floret number, abortive florets and full grain number.Early sowing in optimum period for mid-late maturity varieties with a period of duration similar to ZD909 was good for high yield in Xinjiang high-yield spring corn zone. The maize yield decreased 0.081-0.205×103 kg/hm2 with the sowing date delayed each day from April 8 to May 5. The grain yield reached 15000 kg/hm2 when sowing date were before April 21 (71st Group) and April 30 (Qitai Headquarters). With the sowing date delay
