Abstract
This paper presents the basic elements of maize production technology in Serbia. For their good knowledge, it is necessary to be familiar with the basic biological requirements of the species, phenology and its particular requirements for water, heat, soil conditions and mineral nutrition. A special emphasis in this paper is given to recent research by the author regarding the correction of production technology (selection of hybrids, time and density of sowing, etc.) from the aspect of knowing the weather conditions of the year to the moment of sowing and the amount and position of available nitrogen in the soil profile during the spring before sowing. In the light of predicted climate change conditions for the Republic of Serbia, the authors of this paper have proposed and appropriated adaptation measures. The general conclusion is that there are no general recipes for the correct production technology of this plant species, but should be adapted to each specific year, field and hybrid.
Highlights
The economic significance of maize derived from the properties of the plant itself, the diversity of its use and volume of production
The aim of this paper is to present the basic conditions of corn production in Serbia, the conventional production method, and in view of the mentioned climate change in Serbia, to propose measures for adaptation to future climate change
Conditions for growing corn Corn is a plant originating from the south and has high demands on heat
Summary
The economic significance of maize derived from the properties of the plant itself, the diversity of its use and volume of production. In terms of the characteristics of corn plant, first of all, it should noted its high genetic yield potential, the largest among all cereals. According to the amount of organic matter that can be given per hectare, it comes to the ranks of field plants with the largest amount of useful organic matter. In addition to its high yielding potential, maize has a high plasticity in terms of selection and creation of different hybrids according to purpose; with more or less oil and protein content; hybrids for special purpose (industrial processing), with a higher leaf mass, with a large number of stems for the production of green mass and silage, with higher sugar content etc. In addition to its high yielding potential, maize has a high plasticity in terms of selection and creation of different hybrids according to purpose; with more or less oil and protein content; hybrids for special purpose (industrial processing), with a higher leaf mass, with a large number of stems for the production of green mass and silage, with higher sugar content etc. (Latković et al, 2014)
