Abstract: Based on WOFOST crop growth model, we simulated the impacts of different drought intensities during jointing to tasseling and tasseling to milkripe stages on spring maize biomass and yield in Inner Mongolia. The results showed that the rates of grain-filling intensity, yield, biomass increment and biomass decreased with the increase of drought degree. After rewatering, the grain-filling intensity and biomass increment were rapidly restored to the level without drought. Grainfilling intensities under light drought, moderate drought and serious drought were reduced by 14.8%-15.4%, 40.9%-42.9% and 52.4%-60.8% respectively. Meanwhile, the yields were reduced by 1.9%-6.1%, 9.5%-15.4% and 18.6%-25.8%, the biomass increments were reduced by 12.6%-12.8%, 31.0%-35.5% and 50.4%-50.8%, and the biomasses were reduced by 2.9%-6.1%, 6.9%-19.4% and 12.0%-32.1% accordingly. The grain-filling period was differently affected by droughts from jointing to tasseling and from tasseling to milkripe stage. The yield loss was higher when the drought occurred from tasseling to milkripe stage because the grain-filling intensity at peak and decline phases was both influenced at this developmental stage. The droughts from jointing to tasseling stage and from tasseling to milkripe stage affected the peak and decline phases of assimilate accumulation, respectively. The duration of the impact by drought from jointing to tasseling stage was longer; therefore, the descent rate of biomass affected by drought was more obvious in this period than that from tasseling to milkripe stage.
