Based on the evaluation of soil cultivation by the average of treatments, it may be assessed that spring ploughing (8.204 t ha -1 ) provides more favourable conditions to the stand compared to spring shallow cultivation; however, this did not result in a significant difference. Spring ploughing considerably increased the yield of hybrid FAO 300 in dry years, whereas it considerably increased the yield of hybrid FAO 400 in favourable crop years. A stand of 70 thousand stems/ha provided the higher yield result in both soil cultivation types. It was sufficient to use a fertilizer dose of 120 kg N ha -1 for economical production.application/pdfspring ploughingshallow cultivationmaizefolyóiratcikkOpen Accesshttps://doi.org/10.34101/actaagrar/59/2012Acta Agraria Debreceniensis59Acta agrar.
