“…Similarly, the effect of nitrogen was positive and significant considering 1000‐grain weight in all years (Table ). However, Plavšić et al () reported that 200 kg N ha −1 did not increase maize yield and considered 150 kg N ha −1 as an environmentally suitable quantity of nitrogen, whereas the best grain/ear ratio they observed was with 100 kg N ha −1 .…”

During the 3‐year study, maize (Zea mays L.) production in the eastern Republic of Croatia suffered great losses due to periods of flood (2010) and drought (2011 and 2012). An excessive amount of water as well as lack of it caused variation of yield and efficiency of irrigation scheduling. Irrigation treatments included a rainfed treatment and irrigation up to soil water content 80–100% of field capacity. The nitrogen fertilization treatments were 0 (control) and 200 kg N ha−1. The analysed crop productivity parameters were 1000‐grain mass and grain yield, in two hybrids. The irrigation significantly increased maize grain yield in dry years, while in the extremely wet year of 2010 yield in the irrigated plot was reduced doe to stress caused by excessive rainfall and over‐irrigation. Both tested hybrids responded positively to the combination of nitrogen fertilizer and irrigation. Regardless of whether expressed on a fresh tissue or dry weight basis, the proline content in maize leaf did not show a clear effect of irrigation treatment, whereas nitrogen fertilization stimulated this amino acid accumulation. There was a close relationship established between proline in leaf dry matter in both growth stages and 1000‐grain mass, as well as a weak relationship between this parameter at flowering and final grain yield.

Different long-term experiments were carried on chernozem (Debrecen) and loamy (Hajdúböszörmény) soils. They included the most important agrotechnical, biological (hybrid) and agroecological (crop year, soil) factors in maize production. This paper evaluated the results of polyfactorial long-term experiments. For the maize the most favourable crop rotation was winter wheat (in a tri-culture) with an N 60-120, P 2 O 5 60-70, K 2 O and 90-110 kg ha -1 , and a density of 75-90,000 plants ha -1 . The different input levels of maize crop management systems can modify an adaptive capacity to ecological conditions and the resilience of agro-ecosystems. The optimalization of agrotechnical elements reduces the harmful climatic effects. The yields of maize varied between 2-11 t ha -1 in extensive and 10-15 t ha -1 in intensive crop management systems, respectively.

“…Irrigation and nitrogen fertilization result in higher maize plants. Such plants have higher yield, larger ears, more kernels per ear (Plavšić et al, 2007; Markovic et al, 2011) so they attract corn borer due to providing good food for their larvae (Archer et al, 1987). ECB deposits eggs on the underside of maize leaves.…”
