Acompanhamento de lavoura demonstrativa de milho (Zea mays) do programa Prospera Nordeste em Pernambuco

Abstract

The corn crop (Zea mays L.) is a plant that belongs to the grass family, or Poaceae, in which it is very sensitive to water deficiencies because it suffers conditions when it comes to climate change. The aim of this work is to study the characteristics of three hybrids, P3853PWU, P3707VYH and P3440, which are designed for the regional conditions of the northern forest zone of Pernambuco. The activities carried out included soil preparation, planting, foundation and top dressing fertilization, nutritional assessment, a survey of pests and diseases and invasive plants, so monitoring the demonstration field is extremely important to observe the development of the crop, as well as knowing how to overcome adversities in order to achieve a better quality product.
