Abstract: The use of new innovative forms in fertilizer application technologies is becoming increasingly relevant. For the first time (2021–2023) within ordinary chernozem soil in the foothill of the KBR, studies were conducted to investigate the effectiveness of foliar feeding with liquid chelated fertilizer Organomix (Grain brand, Zinc brand) in the cultivation of corn for grain.
Aim. The paper studies the effect of various doses of foliar feeding on the productivity and grain quality of the Krasnodar 292 AMV corn hybrid.
Materials and methods. Foliar feeding is carried out in the phase of 2–3 and 5–7 leaves with Organomix grain dose of 0.5 l/ha and Organomix Zinc of 1.0 l/ha. The experiment also used a multi-component synergistically acting growth regulator Organostim with a dose of 0.6 l / ha.
Results. The experiments show that the use of liquid chelated fertilizers Organomix in growing corn for grain contributed to a yield increase of 18.4–23.87 c/ha. The highest yield was achieved with the option of double foliar feeding Organomix grain 0.5 l/ha + Organomix Zinc 1.0 l/ha in combination with the growth stimulator Organostim at a dose of 0.6 l/ha–72.95 c/ha. Foliar feeding of corn also had a certain effect on grain quality indicators. The protein content in corn grain in the experimental options is 2.16–2.87% higher than in the control one.
Conclusions. Vegetative corn plants treatment with the chelated complex Organomix contributed both to an increase in net income and in the level of profitability.
