ABSTRACT

Measurements of maize leaves aim at assessing the photosynthetic capacity of a given species and estimating the impact of habitat and agronomic factors on the size of photosynthetic capacity. The paper presents the results of three-year field experiments whose purpose was to analyze the growth of active organs in the process of photosynthesis of two different maize hybrid types, depending on dose of nitrogen and magnesium in the cob flowering stage. The assessment of the leaf area growth was made based on the assimilation area of a single plant and specific leaf area, leaf weight fraction, stem and ear weight fraction, leaf area index. We found that the "stay-green" hybrid developed fewer leaves per plant, while at the same time their weight increased, compared to the traditional variety. The hybrid ES Paroli SG was characterized by a greater total leaf blade area per plant and LAI.

Key words: maize, stay-green, nitrogen, magnesium, acid invertase.
