Abstract

A research was carried out in the experimental field of the
Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Morelos, East Campus,
where the behavior of twenty four Creole corn genotypes and
one witness variety, cultivated in a drip irrigation system with
fertirrigation technique, was evaluated. The experimental design
was random complete blocks with two replications. The plots
were made up of two rows, 6 m long. The distance between rows
was 1 m and 0.3 m between plants on the line. Ten cobs were
harvested randomly when they had 14% humidity. Water applied
in each watering was measured. The highest yields (p≤0.01) were
found in Blanco Jonacatepec Morelos (BJM1) (3 405 kg ha-1), Blanco
Coacalco Puebla (BCP1) (3 116 kg ha-1) and variety 537 (2 918 kg ha-1).
The amount of water used was 3 002 m3 ha-1. Good efficiency was
obtained in water productivity. Drip irrigation with fertirrigation
improved productivity of Creole corns, water is saved, and its use
efficiency increases.
