Non-nutritional biostimulant improves maize cultivation economic parameters

Maize cultivation in the second season has a significant risk of reducing economic profitability due to the common water scarcity for this period in the Brazilian Cerrado. It was considered the Brazilian Journal of Development Braz. J. of Develop., Curitiba, v. 5, n. 10, p. 17967-17978, out. 2019. ISSN 2525-8761 17968 hypothesis that the application of biostimulant can act positively on the financial return obtained with the production of second period maize. Therefore, the objective was to obtain the economic indicators related to the crop under application of biostimulant. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with four replications, being 2x5x2: Two sowing periods for second-season maize in two years (February-March); five doses of biostimulant in the treatment of seeds (0, 6.25, 12.50, 18.75, 25.00 ml kg); presence and absence of foliar application of biostimulant (500 ml ha). Seed treatments with 6.25 ml kg and 12.50 ml kg resulted in better economic results for the sowing of February and March, respectively, when combined with foliar application. The highest profitability indexes were obtained when maize was cultivated in February. However, despite the lower monetary return, maize grown in the second season results in positive economic returns.
