Drought as a Factor for Cob Yield of Maize (Zea mays L.)
Abstract
In this investigation the yield of dry maize cobs, cultivated underdrought conditions has been analysed. Depending on climate conditions asduring the year, as well depending on genetic characteristics of the maizehybrids, the cob yield is variable.In drought conditions, the lowest cob yield for three years ofexperiment was gained from Stira (960kg/ha), while the highest from ZP360(1460kg/ha). In irrigated conditions, the lowest yield was found in Colombahybrid (1570kg/hec), and the highest in Constanza (2650kg/ha).References
