Response of Maize (Zea mays L.) to Surface Irrigation

By Diogo Silveira Kersten

With the aim of evaluating the development of the maize crop (Zea mays L.) under different irrigation systems and different fertilisations, in order to provide higher yields at lower costs for small farmers, a research project was carried out with the Pioneer 32R21 cultivar, in an Argillic Hypochromic Alissol, at the Instituto Federal Farroupilha campus S o Vicente do Sul. (IFFAR-SVS). The experiment evaluated three fertiliser treatments and surface irrigation systems. The fertiliser treatments were: mineral, organic, mixed (organic + mineral) fertiliser and a control with no fertiliser in each experimental plot. The area was fertilised according to the chemical analysis of the soil. The research took the necessary care to ensure that the irrigation systems and inputs performed well.
