INFLUENCE OF MAIZE SEED DIRECTION ON WATER USE EFFICIENCY IN THE CONDITIONS OF AN ERODED SOIL FROM NORTH -WESTERN ROMANIA

Journal Title: Natural Resources and Sustainable Development - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 1

Abstract

The research conducted at the Agricultura Research and Development Station Oradea in the preluvosoil conditions. Field research is placed on a land with a slope of 10%. In both variants of maize cultivation differences between yields obtained on the base of the hill compared to top of the hill it was highly statistically significant. In 2013 at 1 m3 water consumed at the top of the slope were obtained 0.72 kg maize grain sown in variant top to the valley and 38% more in variant sown. At maize sowing on the level curves direction at 1 m3 of water was obtained more main yield compared with variant of maize sown from top of hill to valley, and the quantity of water used per 1 kg yield declined. In 2014, at the maize crop, the effects of erosion on the slope studied was characterized by a difference of 90%, highly statistically significant, between the base and the top of the slope of the hill in variant sown on the level curves direction. Sowing maize on the direction from top to the valley caused a statistically very significant loss of yield of 39% and the difference between yields on base and the top of the slope was also higher in this variant.
