ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of sowing density on grain yield of two types of maize cultivars. The field experiment was carried out in 2012-2014 at the Department of Agronomy at the Poznań University of Life Sciences. The first order factor was: the cultivars SY Cooky and Drim “stay-green”, while the second order factor was: sowing den-sity of 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 plants per 1 m-2. The thermal and humidity conditions in the growing seasons of maize significantly influenced grain yield, ear grain number, grain moisture and the number of production ears per area unit. The “stay-green” cultivar was characterized by significantly higher grain yield compared to the traditional cultivar. The increase in sowing density decreased 1000 seed weight and ear grain number, while it increased the number of production ears per area unit and maize grain moisture during harvest. No significant interaction of the studied types of maize cultivars with sowing density in shaping grain yield components, moisture and grain yield was demonstrated.
