Effect of Nitrogen Rates, Biofertilizers and Foliar Urea Application on Yield and Yield Components of Maize (Zea mays, L.)

Abstract: Two field experiments were conducted at Bahteem region, Kalubiah Governorate during 2011 and 2012 seasons, to study the effect of three nitrogen rates (40, 60, and 80 kg/fed), biofertilizers (control, without biofertilizer application and Azotobacter + Azospirillum) and foliar spraying with four urea concentrations (0,1.5,2.5 and 3.5%) as well as their interactions on yield and yield components of maize (single cross 30 K8). Results indicated that nitrogen fertilizer rates significantly affected on ear length,… Show more

“…For legume crops, foliar application could reduce the inhibition role of nitrogen to root nodule development and symbiotic nitrogen fixation ( Lin et al, 2018 ; Nishida et al, 2018 ). Thus, foliar application of nitrogen fertilizer has become more popular, and the physiological effects of foliar urea application on crop plants have been explored extensively in recent years ( Hassanein et al, 2019 ; Cassim et al, 2020 ; Lyu et al, 2021 ). In wheat, foliar urea application altered storage protein distribution of grain by promoting the expression of the majority of storage protein-encoding genes ( Rossmann et al, 2019 ), but the global transcriptional profile of soybean after foliar urea application has rarely been reported.…”

“…The world’s population is increasing rapidly; therefore, it must produce more from the limited arable land to meet the needs of the growing population ( Altieri, 1999 ; Fan et al., 2012 ). Strengthening the utilization of chemical fertilizers is an essential step in obtaining bumper crop yields ( Hassanein et al., 2019 ; Mohamed et al., 2020 ); nevertheless, the indiscriminate use of fertilizers has led to increased soil nutrient imbalance in various regions of the world, notably many Asian countries ( Zhou et al., 2017 ; Wang et al., 2020 ). In economically developed areas of China, a markedly disproportionate dose of fertilizers is being administered, i.e., averaging 339 kg/hm 2 , which is 1.29 times higher than the national average of 262 kg/hm 2 ; however, in underdeveloped areas, the fertilization rate is only 178 kg/hm 2 ( Cho, 2007 ; Zhang and Zhang, 2008 ; Zhang et al., 2013 ).…”
