THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CROP, YIELD COMPONENTS, NUTRITION PARAMETERS OF MAIZE AND THE VARIOUS FOLIAR FERTILASERS ANALISED BY ONE-WAY ANOVA

Many agro-technical factors are of great importance concerning the amount of crop in corn production. One of these factors is nutrient supply, when plants are supplied with macro, meso and microelements. Nowadays cultivated plants cannot always obtain enough microelements from the soil, therefore the importance of foliar fertilization increased. Applied at the right time, foliar fertilization might increase the resistance of corn against biotic and abiotic factors as well. Both the amount and the quality of crop can be improved with foliar fertilisation. In our experiment we examined the effect of various foliar fertilizer products (Algafix, Amalgerol, Fitohorm Turbo Zn, and their combinations) on the important elements of the yield components of maize, the size and quality of the grain and economic calculations were carried out. The results were evaluated by single-factor analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA). Our aim was to determine for yield components and quality parameters, whether there is significant difference between the means of each treatment-group, i.e. whether the treatment had a significant influence on the mean value of the given parameter. This way, we can get an answer if it is worth dealing with certain treatments for the given yield components and quality parameters.
