Corn (Zea mays L.) is a crop of world importance, however, one of the problems present during its development is the lack of nutrients or the presence of these in a form not available to the plant. Because of this, the objective of this review article is to gather information on the influence of different dosages of mycorrhiza and diazotroph biofertilizers on the corn crop. A meticulous bibliographic research was carried out, detailing the methods used by various authors; Among the most repetitive and significant factors are the use of mycorrhizae and nitrogen-fixing bacteria plus fertilization with P, the following treatment stands out: 200 gr ha−1 (using mycorrhizae and nitrogen-fixing bacteria); the common response variable of the authors mentioned in methodology was grain yield. The results obtained by the majority of authors show that grain yield improves significantly in the interaction of mycorrhizae and diazotrophs plus chemical fertilization; As a result of the aforementioned treatment, the yield of corn kg ha−1 was increased by 37%, by virtue of these results it is concluded that the most appropriate thing would be to take it into account to apply it on the corn crop. Keywords: Inoculants, Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria, Symbiotic Fungi. Resumen El maíz (Zea mays L.) es un cultivo de importancia mundial, sin embargo, uno de los problemas presentes durante su desarrollo, es la falta de nutrientes o la presencia de estos en forma no disponible para la planta. Debido a esto, el objetivo de este artículo de revisión es recopilar información sobre la influencia de las diferentes dosificaciones de biofertilizantes a base de micorriza y diazótrofos sobre el cultivo de maíz. Se realizó una minuciosa investigación bibliográfica, detallando métodos utilizados por varios autores; entre los factores más reiterativos y significativos están el empleo de micorrizas y bacterias fijadoras de nitrógeno más la fertilización con P, sobresaliendo el siguiente tratamiento: 200 gr ha−1 (usando micorrizas y bacterias fijadoras de nitrógeno); la variable respuesta en común de los autores mencionados en metodología fue el rendimiento del grano. Los resultados obtenidos por la mayoría de autores muestran que el rendimiento del grano mejora significativamente en la interacción de micorrizas y diazótrofos más la fertilización química; producto del tratamiento mencionado anteriormente, se aumentó un 37% el rendimiento del maíz kg ha−1, en virtud a estos resultados se concluye que lo más adecuado sería tomar en cuenta para aplicarla sobre el cultivo de maíz. Palabras Clave: Inoculantes, bacterias fijadoras de nitrógeno, hongos simbiontes.

Among the nutrients, nitrogen (N) is the element required in greater quantity by the bean plant. Depending on the cultivar, it has greater or lesser N-fixing capacity. The aim of this work was to evaluate the performance of two common bean cultivars under nitrogen topdressing in corn succession, on yield components and yield. The experiment was carried out in randomized blocks in a 2x5 factorial scheme, the first factor being the common bean cultivars (IPR Campos Gerais and BRS Estilo) and the second factor the nitrogen rates (0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 kg ha- 1), with four repetitions. At harvest, plants were collected in one meter, in the useful area of ​​each subplot to determine: number of plants per meter; number of pods/plant; number of grains/plant; number of grains/pods; mass of a thousand grains and productivity. The cultivars differed regarding the number of pods per plant, grains per plant and yield, but they were equivalent for the number of plants per meter, grains per pod and mass of a thousand grains. Comparing the production component number of pods per plant and grain yield, it is concluded that the cultivar that produced the highest number of pods per plant and showed the highest yield was BRS Estilo. There were differences between the treatments for the two cultivars, only in the yield obtained. The highest yield averages were obtained in treatments with doses above 60 kg ha-1 of N.

AbstractObjectives: To determine the effect of the time and the number of lower leaves defoliated, on the productivity of hybrid corn (Zea mays L.). Methodology: Randomized complete blocks design was used, with arrangement of split plot and four replications, using the hybrid cultivar DK 7088. The plots corresponded to the defoliation times: 0, 14 and 28 days after pollination (DAP) and the subplots, number of defoliated leaves (DL): zero, two,four and six. The leaves were defoliated just below the ear, from top to the bottom. The total number of treatments was 12. Scott-Knott statistical test with a level of 5 % was used for the comparison of means. The traits studied were grain weight per ear, ear weight and grain yield per hectare. Results: The interaction between defoliation time and number of lower defoliated leaves was significant (P < 0.05) for grain weight per ear, ear weight andgrain yield. The defoliation of two, four and six leaves during pollination reduced the grain weight per ear, weight per cob and grain yield, being significantly lower than the no defoliated plants. At 14 and 28 days after pollination, defoliation did not affect significantly (P > 0.05) grain yield, but grain weight per ear and ear weight decreased (P< 0.05). Conclusions: The defoliation of lower leaves made during the pollination, reduces the grain weight per ear, ear weight and grain yield, while defoliation 14 days after pollination did not affect significantly the grain yield per hectare.Keywords: Zea mays, defoliation, leaves, grain yield

Objetivo: Caracterizar muestras representativas de razas mexicanas de maíz con marcadores moleculares ISSR, que ayuden a inferir relaciones genéticas vinculadas a su origen, morfología, aspectos ecogeográficos, distribución y usos. Diseño/metodología/aproximación: Se emplearon 54 muestras representativas de razas mexicanas de maíz caracterizadas con diez marcadores moleculares ISSR. Las distancias genéticas se calcularon con el coeficiente Dice y se generó un dendrograma con el método de agrupamiento jerárquico de varianza mínima de Ward. Para visualizar las muestras en dos dimensiones se efectúo un Análisis de Coordenadas Principales con el método de varianza mínima estandarizada. Resultados: En 76 loci detectados, el análisis de agrupamiento con una R2 semiparcial de 0.04 formó cinco grupos que compartieron características filogenéticas, ecogeográficas, morfoagronómicas, de distribución y usos especiales. El análisis de coordenadas principales mostró 21.2 % de la variación total para las dos primeras coordenadas. La primera coordenada principal explicó el 12.43 % de la variación total y separó las muestras por ubicación geográfica y usos especiales; la segunda coordenada principal explicó el 8.77 % de la variación total y separó las muestras por rangos altitudinales y ciclo biológico. Limitaciones del estudio/implicaciones: Se empleó únicamente una muestra representativa por cada raza de maíz, considerando la variabilidad genética de este cultivo se deben incluir más muestras de la misma raza. Hallazgos/conclusiones: Las relaciones genéticas entre las muestras de razas de maíz obedecen a patrones altitudinales y geográficos; aunque algunos agrupamientos compartieron aspectos filogenéticos, morfoagronómicos, de distribución y usos. Palabras clave: Variabilidad genética, recursos fitogenéticos, caracterización molecular, clasificación integral.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects on grain yield of growing cultivars in mixtures of different proportions. Two maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids, Pride 116 and United 106, were grown for 2 yr in pure stand and in seven mixtures of different proportions (7:1, 6:2, 5:3, 4:4, 3:5, 2:6, 1:7) at plant densities of 61 500, 99 400, and 136 000 plants per hectare. The total number of mixture combinations was 42, i.e. 2 years × three densities × seven proportions. All but one mixture yielded as expected based on the yield of component hybrids in pure stand. The higher yielding hybrid (United 106) yielded significantly less grain per plant in mixtures than in pure stand. The lower yielding hybrid (Pride 116) yielded more in mixtures than in pure stand, although the difference was not significant. These data support previous observations that the ability of a hybrid to yield in pure stands is not necessarily related to its ability to yield in mixtures. High plant densities appear to enhance the likelihood of interactions occurring among hybrids. For United 106, the number of proportions yielding less grain per plant than in pure stand was highly significant at the two higher plant densities. For Pride 116, the number of proportions yielding more than in pure stand was highly significant at the highest plant density.Key words: Corn, grain yield, mixtures of different proportions, high plant densities, Zea mays
