Abstract
Conventional corn production involves the use of granular fertilizer which distribution is carried out
with various types of fertilizer spreaders. As opposed to the conventional production, this research is
conducted with the assumption that using a combination of granular and liquid starter fertilizers, and
improved application techniques, achieve higher in grain yield. In this scientific paper, in addition to
the use of conventional mineral fertilizers, investigated the impact of mechanized application of
different norms of liquid starter fertilizer in the production of commercial maize. The application of
liquid starter fertilizer was performed simultaneously with sowing, with the existing seeder, adapted
with prototype machine for the application of liquid starting fertilizer. The results show that grain yield
in areas where was applied a method of application starter fertilizer, increased by 1.43 t · ha-1
compared
to the results obtained with conventional production
