Multicote Agri incresded sweet corn yield in Israel

Even though total applied nitrogen was reduced by 25%, a significant yield increase was obtained following a single application of Multicote Agri

Crop/cultivar	Maize / Conquest - sweet corn for human consumption
Country / location / date	Israel (northen part)/ Gonen / Gadash Calanit / Summer 2005
Objectives	Maintain total yield with reduced N rate
Haifa product tested	Multicote Agri 43-0-0, 30% coated, 2 Months
Application method	BD by banding near the sowing line. Soil: peat-clay
Tested treatment	Multicote Agri 43-0-0 as pre plant application Total N applied = 210 kg/ha Control: BD by broadcasting AN + urea, (36% of total N) + 1 TD, (64% of total N), 3 weeks after emergence. Total N applied = 280 kg/ha
Control treatment results Grain yield - (MT /ha)	18.5
Best treatments results Grain yield - (MT /ha)	21.3
Conclusions	Multicote agri applied at as low as 75% of the control treatment, applied by BD, produced significantly higher yield than the control
