Spray deposition in corn crop is related to the vegetation indices. Spray deposition in corn crop is related to the spray application rate. Plant stand density has no influence on the spray deposition. Determination of the spray application rates (SAR) of crop protection products for different crops is subjective. The study aimed to develop an equation to estimate optimal spray application rates using a vegetation index (VI) and an expected relative spray deposition for summer corn crop. An experiment was performed in the crop year 2015 to 2016, and 2016 to 2017, with a plant density of 60,000 plants ha−1 with 0.45‐m row spacing, under the no‐tillage system, in the municipality of Chapadão do Sul. An active multispectral sensor (Crop Circle ACS‐470) was used to obtain the VI Red Edge, Normalized Difference Red Edge (NDRE), and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), using the red, red edge, and near‐infrared bands. The experiment consisted of plots subdivided in a 4 × 4 factorial scheme (four spray application rates and four phenological stages), with four replications for each treatment. The mass balance analysis measured leaf deposits. The relationship between vegetation index values and middle stratum deposits showed a quadratic trend. When the vegetation index values are increased, the spray application rate (from 40 to 100 L ha−1) needs to also increase to maintain the same spray deposition (from 50 to 100%) in the middle stratum of corn plants. The vegetative indices studied (VI Red Edge, NDRE, and NDVI) positively correlated to the spray deposition in the middle stratum of corn plants, which also depends on the SAR. Furthermore, the relationship between vegetation index and spray deposits need to be studied for other crops, plant architecture, and stand density.
A eficiência da adubação nitrogenada com ureia pode e deve ser melhorada, por isso, são importantes pesquisas com formas alternativas de ureia em função da disponibilização gradual do nitrogênio. Sendo assim, objetivou-se avaliar doses e modos de aplicação de ureia ou de polímeros orgânicos com ureia dissolvida e incorporada, no estado nutricional e desenvolvimento da planta de milho. O experimento foi realizado em casa de vegetação durante 60 dias, em Ilha Solteira - SP. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos ao acaso com quatro repetições, dispostos em um esquema fatorial 3 x 2 x 2, sendo: 3 fontes de N (C1 = polímero orgânico com 30% de ureia dissolvida e 6,86% de N, C2 = polímero orgânico com e 70% de ureia dissolvida e 19,35% de N, ou ureia convencional), 2 doses de N (50 ou 100 mg dm-3) e 2 modos de aplicação (incorporado ou em superfície). De maneira geral, a altura de planta e o diâmetro do colmo do milho não foram influenciados pelos modos de aplicação, fontes e doses de N. A dose de 100 mg dm-3 de N proporcionou maior teor de N na planta, quando utilizado o polímero C1 e a ureia. O modo de aplicação não interferiu nos teores de N, P e K na planta. O polímero orgânico C1 mostrou-se mais promissor no fornecimento de N à planta de milho, devido ao incremento de matéria seca de planta na dose de 50 mg dm-3 de N comparativamente à ureia e o polímero C2.
