Abstract
The objective of presented in this paper the results of the 4-year field research was an evaluation of effect of two-component (NP) fertilizer placement depth, the type of nitrogen fertilizer and the date of its application on the occurrence of pests in maize cultivation. Changing weather conditions in the years of performing the field studies significantly differentiated the percentage of maize plants damaged by pests. The depth of NP fertilizer application did not have a significant impact on the number of plants damaged by the European maize borer [Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner)], frit fly (Oscinella frit L.) and cereal leaf beetle (Oulema melanopus). Frit fly damaged plants fertilized with ammonium nitrate at higher degree than the plants fertilized with urea. In-season sidedress nitrogen application at the BBCH 15/16 growth stage increased the percentage of plants damaged by cereal leaf beetle compared to the pre-sowing N application. Regardless of the years of research and the NP fertilizer placement depth, significantly the smallest damage to plants caused by cereal leaf beetle was recorded for pre-sowing application of ammonium nitrate or urea and significantly the greatest when ammonium nitrate was applied in season at the BBCH 15/16 growth phase. W pracy przedstawiono wyniki 4-letnich badań polowych, których celem była ocena wpływu głębokości umieszczania nawozu mineralnego, dwuskładnikowego (NP) w warstwie gleby, rodzaju nawozu azotowego oraz terminu jego aplikacji na występowanie szkodników w uprawie kukurydzy. Zmienne warunki pogodowe w latach badań, w istotny sposób różnicowały odsetek roślin kukurydzy uszkodzonych przez szkodniki. Głębokość aplikacji nawozu NP nie miała istotnego wpływu na ilość roślin uszkodzonych przez omacnicę prosowiankę [Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner)], ploniarkę zbożówkę (Oscinella frit L.) i skrzypionkę zbożową (Oulema melanopus). Ploniarka zbożówka w większym stopniu uszkadzała rośliny nawożone saletrą amonową, w porównaniu do mocznika. Pogłówna aplikacja azotu w fazie BBCH 15/16 zwiększała odsetek roślin uszkodzonych przez skrzypionkę zbożową, w stosunku do przedsiewnej aplikacji tego składnika. Niezależnie od lat badań i głębokości aplikacji nawozu NP, istotnie najmniejsze uszkodzenia roślin przez skrzypionkę zbożową odnotowano po zastosowaniu saletry amonowej lub mocznika przed siewem kukurydzy, a istotnie największe, gdy zastosowano saletrę amonową w fazie BBCH 15/16.
