Effects of harvest residues and mineral fertilisers on yield and lodging of maize plants caused by larvae of Diabrotica virgifera virgifera Le Conte
Year: 2005
Type: article
Abstract: Monitoring of plant lodging and yield response was performed with the aim to quantify the maize plant response to WCR larvae root damage. Results of plant lodging ranged from 5.39% to 22.26%. Ploughing down of harvest residues slightly decreased percentage of the plant lodging from 12.92% to 15.24% comparing to the removal of harvest residues. Yield response to CR was followed by 565 kg ha-1 prior to and 586 k /ha-1 after the WCR appearance. Yield differences were 2.861 t ha-1 and 2.840 t ha-1, percentage of yield losses was 35.6% and 33.0% in CRO and CR1, respectively.
