Evaluation of different frequencies of Mudra L® in corn cultivation (Zea maize L.) under dryland conditions

Abstract

With the objective of evaluating different frequencies of Mudra L® in the cultivation of corn (Zea mays L.), Canilla variety under dryland conditions.

Four treatments were used, replicated five times, considering variety and application as factors. The variables evaluated were stem diameter, number of leaves, plant height, length, weight, and yield (t ha-1) of the cobs. The results were subjected to Analysis of Variance according to the experimental design used. In cases where significant differences were found between treatments, the means were compared using Duncan's multiple range test for a 5% probability of error, in the statistical package STATGRAPHICS Version 5.0. Treatments stimulated with Mudra L® responded positively and with the highest profits, where the application of three frequencies of 300 ml ha-1 of Mudra L® generated $63,860.0, surpassing the rest of the treatments.
