Research regarding the influence of some cultivation technology elements on maize yield under different climate conditions

Abstract

In the years 2013, 2014, and 2015, at the Didactic Station of the BUASVM from Timișoara, Romania, a tri-factorial trial was carried on to monitor the influence of basic soil work, of sowing time and of maize hybrid on maize yield. The three trial years were, as far as climate favourability is concerned, different: 2013 was medium favourable, 2014 was very favourable, and 2015 was little favourable. Results pointed out that hybrid and sowing time influence yield significantly. Basic soil work had a lesser contribution to yield variability. In 2015, a dry year, yield increased with 520 kg/ha with no statistic ensurance in the „scarification” variant.
