Effect of phosphate fertilizer in the ratio in percentage of Infection on corn Sesamia cretica Led. And relationship to yield production

Abstract

Experiment was made in AL- Qadisiyah province on maize during the autumn season 2007, to know the impact of four levels of phosphate fertilizer (zero, 160, 200, 240 kg P2O5/ h) and two batches.First add all the amount of phosphate fertilizer at one time when agriculture, and the second was added in two waves, when agriculture first and the second after (45 days) from the first installment.
