Abstract

The three–year trials of the impact of the planting technology on the maize yield were carried out at the trial sites Jakšić and Tenja. The KWS Intelligens and KWS Kollegas hybrids were used in the research, planted at a standard row spacing of 70 cm, and in the twin rows with a spacing of 48 × 22 cm. In 2020, the highest average grain yield at the site Jakšić in standard planting, with the KWS Intelligens hybrid, was 12.064 t ha–1, and in the twin row planting an increase in yield of +4.17% was recorded. The KWS Kollegas hybrid had the highest difference in grain yield between a standard and twin row planting in 2021 of +7.52%, in favor of the twin row. At the site Tenja, slightly higher grain yields were recorded in all three years of research. The major difference in yield was recorded in 2020 with the hybrid KWS Kollegas, of +8.22%, or 1.115 t more grain, when planting in the twin rows in comparison with a standard planting. The statistical tests indicate that planting in the twin rows at both trial sites obtained statistically significant results in all three years of research concerning the grain yield ha–1, grain weight per ear, and grain moisture content.
