Abstract

In order to establish the most appropriate treatment, an analysis of the influence of various fertilization treatments on chemical compound of maize cob and grain (OSSK 444) was made on the college farm in Križevci in a three-year period (2004-2006).
The experimental trial was organized in four repetitions and in a
randomized block scheme. The size of the plot for each treatment was 70 square meters (7x10 m), and the treatments were as follows: 1 – no fertilization; 2 - N80P100K0; 3 - N80P0K100; 4 - N0P100K100; 5 - N80P100K100; 6 -N120P100K100; 7 - N120P200K200; 8 - N160P200K200; 9 - N200P200K200; 10 -N240P200K200.
The soil analysis established a mild acid reaction (pH in KCL = 5.93),
low humus content (1.99%) and medium supply level of phosphorus and potassium (135 and 157 mg/kg). The analyses of the maize grain and cob were made according to Weende. The metabolic energy (ME) and net energy for lactation (NEL) were calculated on the basis of the determined crude organic nutrients and
crude ash in maize grain and cob dry matter. The results of this research lead to the conclusion that the fertilization influences the crude protein content in maize cob (91.99 – 108.35 g/kg)
and grain (109.48 and 128.72 g/kg), while only certain fertilization
treatments influence the crude fibre content in maize cob (P<0,05).
However, fertilization does not significantly influence the average crude oil content, crude NET and the nutritive value of maize cob and grain (ME and NEL).
