Abstract
Studies in 2021-2023 under conditions of unstable moisture in the Central Forest-Steppe of Ukraine revealed a positive effect of urea-ammonia mixture (UAN) on the yield and sowing properties of seeds of maternal lines of maize hybrids of different maturity groups (P6/240, P5/320, P4/440). Based on the research results, it was found that the application of 80 l/ha of UAN in the V10 phase increased seed yield by 10.6-11.9% compared to the control. The highest level of seed yield of the maternal line of the early-ripening hybrid P6/240 (6.16 t/ha) by 22.5%, the mid ripening hybrid P5/320 (6.20 t/ha) by 21.3%, the late-ripening hybrid P4/440 (6.80 t/ha) by 16.4% and its maximum increase compared to the control was observed in the variant with the introduction of urea-ammonia mixture (UAN) at a dose of 120 l/ha. The subsequent increase in the dose of UAN to 160 l/ha was not effective, as the level of seed yield decreased in the hybrid P5/320 by 0.5%, P6/240 - by 3.9%. Statistical processing of the experimental data using the method of analysis of variance confirms the significant influence of fertilisers on the formation of seed yields of maize hybrids, which account for 37%. According to the experimental data, the positive effect of applying different doses of liquid nitrogen fertilisers on the weight of 1000 seeds, depending on the genetic characteristics of the hybrids and the dose of fertilisers, was noted to be 3.4-21.8%.
