Responsiveness of the Nur Corn Hybrid to Foliar Top Dressing With Carbamide and Growth Stimulant Izagri Vita in the Soil and Climatic Conditions of the Republic of Tatarstan

Abstract

The feed potential of the universal early-maturing hybrid corn Nur was studied in the conditions of the Ancestral region of the Republic of Tatarstan on gray forest heavy loamy soils. The content of humus in the arable layer was characterized as increased by 4.4 %, mobile phosphorus as very high - more than 377 mg/kg, exchangeable potassium increased – 124 mg/kg. The soil had a medium reaction close to neutral (pH 6.3). Meteorological conditions in 2023 were characterized as arid with a lack of precipitation during the growing season of corn. To obtain high-quality feed from corn, different corn nutrition systems were studied: without fertilizers, background N16P16K16, background N16P16K16 + urea leaf dressing in the 5-7 leaf phase, background N16P16K16 + Izagri Vita leaf dressing in the 5-7 leaf phase, background N16P16K16 + Izagri Vita leaf dressing in the 5-7 leaf phase and cob formation. Izagri Vita is a growth stimulant with trace elements. Improving the nutritional conditions of corn extends the growing season by 2-3 days. Corn responds positively to the application of mineral fertilizers and carrying out leaf fertilization with carbamide. This technique ensures the formation of the highest plant height (159.7 cm) and leaf area (42.19 thousand m2/ha). The largest aboveground mass was formed on the von NPK+ variant Izagri Vita 44.50 t/ha. Biometric indicators of corn also improved on fertilized food backgrounds. The highest yield of green mass was obtained on the variants background NPK and background NPK + Izagri Vita (2 phases) (45.81 and 41.88 t/ha). The increase in yield from the applied mineral fertilizers amounted to 16.25 and 12.31 t/ha. Better nutrition of corn provides a more nutritious feed from corn. The NPK background variant had the highest mass fraction of dry matter (86.3 %), crude fiber (35.0 %), and NPK background + From graphite, where the mass fraction of nitrogen was 20.5 g/kg, crude protein 128.2 g/kg, phosphorus 1.0%.
