Nitrogen top-dressing fertilization of maize cultivated in single and twin-row systems

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of cropping systems (single and twin-rows) and N fertilizer rate in the second top-dressing on the agronomic performance and relative economic returns of maize. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design, with subplots and three repetitions. The plots were composed of two cropping systems: single and twin-rows. The subplots consisted of six rate of N fertilizer, applied in the second top-dressing fertilization in the V8 phenological stage maize: 0, 14, 28, 56, and 70 kg ha-1 of N. The first application of N top-dressing fertilization (140 kg ha-1 N) was during the V4 phenological stage in all treatments. The cropping system of twin-rows provides a higher grain yield and relative economic return of maize. The agronomic efficiency of the twin-row cropping system decreases with increasing N rates, but remains higher than that obtained in the single-row system, independent of the N fertilizer top-dressing rate. The application of the second N top-dressing fertilization in the V8 phenological stage increases linearly with the grain yield and relative economic return of maize, independent of the cropping system.
