Abstract
BAHENA DELGADO, Gregorio et al. Agronomic response of hybrid maize to fertirrigation in Xalostoc, Morelos. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2017, vol.8, n.3, pp.531-543. ISSN 2007-0934. https://doi.org/10.29312/remexca.v8i3.29.
Small maize producers are unaware of the agronomic behavior of new genotypes in their work area and the use of technical irrigation systems. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the agronomic behavior of hybrid maize cultivated in fertirrigation. The study was carried out in the 2014 winter-spring cycle in the School of Higher Studies of Xalostoc. The number of leaves above the cob, total leaves, cob weight, cob diameter and grain yield were measured. A completely random block design was used. The best hybrid for leaves above the cob (6.46), total leaves (13.66), cob weight (206.88) and grain yield (7 613.3 kg ha-1) was H-377. It was confirmed that the new introduced genotypes should be evaluated and technification for water saving and yield raise is required.
