Organic polymers with dissolved urea and nitrogen rates in maize

The efficiency of nitrogen fertilization with urea can and should be improved, therefore, research with alternative forms of urea due to the gradual availability of nitrogen are very important. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of N doses in latex-based organic polymers fo...

Description
Summary:The efficiency of nitrogen fertilization with urea can and should be improved, therefore, research with alternative forms of urea due to the gradual availability of nitrogen are very important. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of N doses in latex-based organic polymers form with dissolved urea, evaluating nutritional status, production components and grain yield of corn, as well to analyze the residual N in organic polymers and the agronomic efficiency of the treatments. The experiment was conducted in Selvíria - MS, in a Latossolo Vermelho distrófico (red oxisol) under no-tillage system. The experimental design was a randomized block design with four replicates arranged in a 5 x 4 factorial scheme: 5 N sources (P1 = organic polymer with 30% urea dissolved in water and 6.86% N, P2 = Organic polymer with 70% urea dissolved in water and 19.35% N, P3 = organic polymer with 30% dissolved urea and 9.65% N, P4 = organic polymer with 70% dissolved urea and 11.00 % Of N and U = urea with 45% of N) and 4 N doses (0, 60, 120 and 180 kg ha-1). The N sources provided maize yield similar. However, at higher N rates (120 to 180 kg ha-1), the polymer P1 had the highest agronomic efficiency, although P2 have excelled in 120 kg ha-1 of N. The grain yield of maize increased linearly with increment of N rates of polymers P1, P3 and P4 and up to a dose of 107 kg ha-1 N for the P2 polymer.
