ABSTRACT

The field experiment was carried out in the Department of
Agronomy of the Poznań University of Life Sciences, in the fields of the
Research and Education Unit in Swadzim, in the years 2012–2013. The study
examined influence of maize hybrid type (Zea mays L.) and nitrogen doses
on nitrogen eutrophication of the environment. The Nmin method was used for assessment
of the amount of mineral nitrogen in soil after plant harvest. The N-NO₃ form
exhibited greater variability when compared to the N-NH₄ form. The
content of mineral nitrogen in soil after harvest of traditional cultivar SY
Cooky was significantly higher in comparison with “stay-green” type
cultivar Drim. The amount of N_min increased in proportion to nitrogen
dose. The amount of the nitrate nitrogen form (more susceptible to washing out)
rapidly increased after exceeding the dose of 150 kg N·ha^-1 when
compared to the ammonium form.

Key words: stay-green (SG), maize, nitrogen, N_min.
