IMPACT OF VARIED SOIL NITROGEN RICHNESS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CORN FERTILISATION WITH NITROGEN
Andrzej Kruczek
ABSTRACT
The research defined the effectiveness of corn fertilisation with nitrogen depending on its content in soil and covered N uptake, agronomical and physiological fertilisation efficiency as well as coefficients of nitrogen-fertliser utilisation. Spring and autumn doses were defined which were applied to balance N fertilisation and uptake by plants as well as the degree of N utilisation from the same doses applied in autumn and spring. As for the plant dry matter yield, the agronomical and physiological efficiency of all the spring N doses at 160 and 240 kg×ha-1 introduced into the soil in autumn were negative, and the coefficient of nitrogen utilisation against other fertilisers did not exceed 7.4%.
Key words: corn, nitrogen fertilisation, nitrogen fertilisation efficiency, autumn doses, spring doses.
