Determining Consumptive Water Use for Corn Cultivation at High Altitudes: A Comparative Study of Three Methods

A desirable water supply in agriculture requires quantitative methods to determine crop requirements. De-termination of hydric request of maize Var INIAP 102 is promising, mainly at altitudes over 2000 meters above sea level. This study analyzed three methods (lysimeter, evaporimeter tank, and empiric formula FAO) to determine Chimborazo province's hydric requirements for Var INIAP 102. Vegetative and yield variables were recorded, and the effect of different water films on the vegetative growth of maize was de-termined. When water was more available in the soil, the vegetative growth, yield, and pod weight per plant of maize Var INIAP 102 were higher. This study is of great importance because determining the hydric requirement of maize Var INIAP 102 was done for the first time in Chimborazo province and will support farmers in better water use for irrigation.

Role of silicon in alleviating boron toxicity and enhancing growth and physiological traits in hydroponically cultivated Zea mays var. Merit

BackgroundBoron (B) is a micronutrient, but excessive levels can cause phytotoxicity, impaired growth, and reduced photosynthesis. B toxicity arises from over-fertilization, high soil B levels, or irrigation with B-rich water. Conversely, silicon (Si) is recognized as an element that mitigates stress and alleviates the toxic effects of certain nutrients. In this study, to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of Si on maize under boron stress conditions, a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design was conducted with three replications in a hydroponic system. The experiment utilized a nutrient solution for maize var. Merit that contained three different boron (B) concentrations (0.5, 2, and 4 mg L−1) and three Si concentrations (0, 28, and 56 mg L−1).ResultsOur findings unveiled that exogenous application of B resulted in a substantial escalation of B concentration in maize leaves. Furthermore, B exposure elicited a significant diminution in fresh and dry plant biomass, chlorophyll index, chlorophyll a (Chl a), chlorophyll b (Chl b), carotenoids, and membrane stability index (MSI). As the B concentration augmented, malondialdehyde (MDA) content and catalase (CAT) enzyme activity exhibited a concomitant increment. Conversely, the supplementation of Si facilitated an amelioration in plant fresh and dry weight, total carbohydrate, and total soluble protein. Moreover, the elevated activity of antioxidant enzymes culminated in a decrement in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and MDA content. In addition, the combined influence of Si and B had a statistically significant impact on the leaf chlorophyll index, total chlorophyll (a + b) content, Si and B accumulation levels, as well as the enzymatic activities of guaiacol peroxidase (GPX), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and H2O2 levels. These unique findings indicated the detrimental impact of B toxicity on various physiological and biochemical attributes of maize, while highlighting the potential of Si supplementation in mitigating the deleterious effects through modulation of antioxidant machinery and biomolecule synthesis.ConclusionsThis study highlights the potential of Si supplementation in alleviating the deleterious effects of B toxicity in maize. Increased Si consumption mitigated chlorophyll degradation under B toxicity, but it also caused a significant reduction in the concentrations of essential micronutrients iron (Fe), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn). While Si supplementation shows promise in counteracting B toxicity, the observed decrease in Fe, Cu, and Zn concentrations warrants further investigation to optimize this approach and maintain overall plant nutritional status.

Effect of planting spaces and fertilization package on the productivity and prolific level of maize var. Sinhas 1

A study aimed to determine planting system and fertilization packages that give the best result on productivity and prolific level of Maize was conducted. Maize variety Sinhas 1 was planted with three planting systems to design different planting spaces between and within the rows. A Legowo planting system was used with two models, ie. Legowo (50+100) × 20 cm and Legowo (50+100) × 18 cm, resulted in a total of 66,667 and 74,074 population per hectare, respectively. A normal planting spacing of 75 × 20 cm was used as control with a total population of 66,667 plants per hectare. Four fertilization packages were used consisted of N:P:K= 225:100:75; N:P:K= 200:100:60 + KNO3 10 kg; N:P:K= 225:100:75 + Ecofarming 5cc/L; and N:P:K= 200:100:50 + KNO3 10 kg + Ecofarming 5 cc/L. A split plot experimental design was employed. Results show that Legowo planting system and fertilization packages significantly increased the productivity and the prolific level of the maize. Planting density of Legowo (50+100) × 20 cm applied with N:P:K = 200:100:50 + KNO3 10 kg + Ecofarming 5cc/L resulted in the highest productivity of 10.43 t ha−1 with percentage of prolific of 73.36%.

Altered bacteria community dominance reduces tolerance to resident fungus and seed to seedling growth performance in maize (Zea mays L. var. DKB 177)

Seeds are reservoirs of beneficial and harmful microorganism that modulates plant growth and health. Here, we access seed to seedling bacteriome assembly modified by seed-disinfection and the underlined effect over maize germination performance and root-seedlings microbial colonization. Seed-disinfection was performed with sodium hypochlorite (1.25 %, 30 min), resulting in a reduction of the cultivable-dependent fraction of seed-borne bacteria population, but not significantly detected by real-time PCR, microscopy, and biochemical analysis of the roots on germinated seeds. 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that bacteriome of non-germinated seeds and roots of 5-d germinated seeds exhibited similar diversity and did not differ in the structure concerning seed-disinfection. On the other hand, the relative abundance reduction of the genera f_Enterobacteriaceae_922761 (unassigned genus), Azospirillum, and Acinetobacter in disinfected-seed prior germination seems to display changes in prominence of several new taxa in the roots of germinated seeds. Interestingly, this bacteriome community rebuilt negatively affected the germination speed and growth of maize plantlets. Additionally, bacteriome re-shape increased the maize var. DKB 177 susceptible to the seed-borne plant pathogen Penicillium sp. Such changes in the natural seed-borne composition removed the natural barrier, increasing susceptibility to pathogens, impairing disinfected seeds to germinate, and develop. We conclude that bacteria borne in seeds modulate the relative abundance of taxa colonizing emerged roots, promote germination, seedling growth, and protect the maize against fungal pathogens.

Respuesta de Zea mays var. Jala a Burkholderia sp. y Klebsiella oxitogena bajo dosis reducida de urea

Introduction: The growing of maize (zea mays L.) in Latin America is carried out under the intensive production system, which causes loss of soil fertility due to excessive nitrogen fertilizer. Objective: Analyzing the response of maize var. Jala to genera of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) endophytes of maize var. Mexicana (teocintle) when using nitrogen fertilizer such as urea at 50 % under greenhouse and soil conditions. Methodology: A randomized block design was established with five treatments, three controls and twenty repetitions. The treatments with inoculated maize seeds and 50 % urea were: Burkholderia (KO) and Burkholderia sp. 14 (B14); the controls were: non-inoculated maize with 50 % urea (RC1), non-inoculated maize irrigated with water (FC) and non-inoculated maize with 100 % urea (RC2). The experiments were established under greenhouse and soil conditions. The response variables were radical dry weight (RDW) and fresh weight of grain (FWG). ANOVA and Tukey’s mean comparison (P ≤ 0.01) were carried out. Results: In both environments, treatment B14 showed statistically higher values than those obtained with FC (full control), but statistically equal to RC2 (relative control). Study limitations: Maize varieties have specific and beneficial endophytic PGPB genera, which are not necessarily for regional varieties. Originality: PGPB endophytes from teocintle (ancestor of maize) were used because of their close genetic relationship with the maize var. Jala. Conclusion: PGPB endophytes from teocintle are a viable option for sustainable maize production.

Influence of Zinc Fortification on Yields and Quality of Fodder Maize

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of fortification of fodder maize var. African Tall with micronutrient zinc through ZnSO4 fertilizer application. The study involved fortification at different doses through soil application and foliar sprays at different stages of crop. Green fodder yields were highest at 50 kg ZnSO4 ha-1. Zinc content increased with increasing crop growth from knee high (18.9 mg kg-1) to fodder harvest (37.9 mg kg-1) with highest concentration at soil application of 50 ZnSO4 ha-1. Zinc fortification of 23% was observed when 50 kg of ZnSO4 was added through soil application while soil application of 25 kg ZnSO4 ha-1 along with two foliar sprays at knee high and tasseling showed on par yields. Foliar sprays complemented soil application but foliar application alone excluding soil application failed to show impact on yields. No significant effect of zinc was observed on quality parameters viz., crude protein, acid detergent fiber or neutral detergent fiber. The crude protein content though did not vary significantly, highest was observed when 50 kg ZnSO4 was applied as soil application. Zinc application significantly influenced Neutral detergent fiber at fodder harvest, on the contrary, acid detergent fiber was not effected at any stage of crop.

The comparison of chlorophyll a, b, and the total of maize (Zea mays saccharata sturt l) var p-21 by applying fertilizers of nanosilica-npk and nanosilica-manure

The productivity of corn field’s crops must be increased in order to supply the market’s demands. This study aims to increase the productivity of corn plants by using the proper fertilizers. Fertilizing using silica can increase the resistance of corn plants toward drought pressure, while nitrogen fertilizing can increase the amount of chlorophyll. This study compares the effect of nano silica-NPK fertilizer and manure-nano silica toward the chlorophyll a, b, and to the total amount of chlorophyll consisted in sweet corn plants at the age of 10, 40 and 60 days. The nanosilica-NPK ratio is 100%: 0%, 75%: 25%, 50%: 50%, 25%: 75%, and 0%: 100%, as well as the ratio of nano silica-manure. The total amount of chlorophyll contained in the fertilizers of nano silica-manure tends to be the same as nano silica-NPK fertilization at the age of 10, 40 and 60 days. The amount of Chlorophyll a is higher than the amount of chlorophyll b in all fertilizers. Chlorophyll a, b, and the total amount of chlorophyll tends to decrease in nano silica-manure fertilizer, but in nano silica-NPK fertilizer, the chlorophyll has increased from the 10th to 60th days.
