AB  - Инфракрасная (ИК) спектроскопия и спектроскопия комбинационного рассеяния (КР) — современные методы, на основе которых успешно формируются биотехнологические подходы, поз-воляющие проводить генетический и функциональный анализ отдельных органов и тканей растений на молекулярном уровне. В представленной работе с помощью спектроскопии поверхностного внут-реннего отражения (ПВО), которая представляет собой модификацию ИК-спектроскопии, впервые зарегистрированы и выявлены различия в содержании и конформации биомолекул в гомогенатах целого зерна гибридов кукурузы ZP 735 и его компонентов (эндосперм, перикарп, зародыш). Нашей целью была разработка методологии спектроскопии поверхностного внутреннего отражения для идентификации органических молекул, их содержания и конформации в семени кукурузы и его тканях. Объектом исследования служили зерна гибрида кукурузы (Zea mays L.) ZP 735 (оригина-тор — Maize Research Institute, Zemun Polje, г. Белград, Сербия). Методом случайной выборки было отобрано 30 зерен. Для получения ПВО-спектров образцы целых зерен и их частей (эндо-сперма, перикарпа и зародыша) измельчали, гомогенизировали и помещали в специальную ячейку прибора. Для регистрации ПВО-спектров использовали спектрометр (Nicolet™ iS20 FTIR Spectro-meter, «Thermo Scientific», США) с алмазом (diamond ATR crystal, «Thermo Scientific», США), для анализа спектров — пакет программ («Thermo Scientific», США). ПВО-спектры сопоставляли в библиотеке данных программы Advanced ATR correction Algorithm. Метод ПВО-спектроскопии ос-нован на отражении пучка света на границе раздела двух фаз: фазы кристалла с высоким показа-телем преломления, входящего в состав прибора ПВО, и фазы исследуемого образца с более низ-ким показателем преломления. В процессе измерения луч света проникает на небольшую глубину в фазу образца, где частично поглощается. При последующих облучениях образца это явление повторяется, и в результате регистрируется ПВО-спектр. Доказано, что в диапазоне от 400 см1 до 4000 см1 ПВО-спектры целого зерна, эндосперма, перикарпа и зародыша гибрида ZP 735 были аналогичны полученным ранее ИК-спектрам зерна, что свидетельствует о возможности использо-вания нового метода для технологий молекулярной селекции. Расположение полос ПВО-спектра характеризует различные формы колебаний валентных связей функциональных групп органических молекул семени, что позволяет идентифицировать не только наличие определенных молекул, но и их конформацию. Доказано, что с помощью анализа амплитуды полос ПВО-спектра (максималь-ная амплитуда интенсивности и высокая амплитуда интенсивности) в тканях семени можно кон-тролировать изменение содержания ряда органических соединений: протеинов, липидов, сахаров, сложных эфиров, амидов, кетонов, альдегидов, карбоновых кислот, простых эфиров, фенолов, спиртов, ароматических углеводородов, ациклических соединений, алкенов, алканов и алкинов. Полученные результаты важны для тестирования наличия в зерне необходимых органических со-единений или изменения их конформации в процессе селекции. К важным преимуществам метода ПВО-пектроскопии по сравнению с ИК-спектроскопией относятся, с одной стороны, сохранение нативности объекта (возможность проведения исследования без фиксации или окрашивания) и простая пробоподготовка, с другой — эффективная оценка содержания и конформации молекул с высокой чувствительностью (разрешение порядка 1,0 см1). Реализация разработанной методики для формирования технологии молекулярной селекции повысит рентабельность культивирования и эффективность селекции не только кукурузы, но и других сельскохозяйственных растений.
AB  - Infrared (IR) spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy (RS) are modern methods on the basis of which biotechnological approaches are being successfully developed that allow genetic and func-tional analysis of individual plant organs and tissues at the molecular level. In the present work, using surface internal reflection spectroscopy (SIR), which is a modification of IR spectroscopy, differences in the content and conformation of biomolecules in grain homogenates and its components (endo-sperm, pericarp, germ) of ZP 735 maize hybrids were first recorded and revealed. Our goal was to develop a methodology for surface SIR for the identification of organic molecules, their content and conformation in corn seed and its tissues. The grains of the corn hybrid (Zea mays L.) ZP 735 (origi-nator Maize Research Institute, Zemun Polje, Belgrade, Serbia) served as the object of the study. Thirty grains were selected by random sampling. To obtain SIR spectra, samples of grains and their parts (endosperm, pericarp, and embryo) were crushed, homogenized, and placed in a special cell of the device. A spectrometer (FT-IR spectrophotometer, Thermo Scientific, USA) with diamond (dia-mond ATR crystal, Thermo Scientific, USA) was used to record the SIR spectra, and a software package (Thermo Scientific™ ) was used to analyze the spectra. The SIR spectra were compared in the data library of the Advanced ATR correction Algorithm program. The SIR spectroscopy method is based on the reflection of a light beam at the interface between two phases: the phase of a crystal with a high refractive index, which is part of the SIR device, and the phase of the sample under study with a lower refractive index. During the measurement, the light beam penetrates to a small depth into the phase of the sample, where it is partially absorbed. During subsequent irradiation of the sample, this phenomenon is repeated, and as a result, the SIR spectrum is recorded. It has been proven that in the range from 400 cm-1 to 4000 cm-1 ATR spectra of whole grain, endosperm, pericarp and embryo of the ZP 735 hybrid are similar to the previously obtained IR spectra of grain, which indicates the possibility of using a new method for molecular breeding technologies. The location of the bands of the SIR spectrum characterizes various forms of vibrations of the valence bonds of the functional groups of the organic molecules of the seed, which makes it possible to identify not only the presence of certain molecules, but also their conformation. It has been proved that by analyzing the amplitude of the SIR spectrum bands (maximum intensity amplitude and high intensity amplitude), it is possible to control changes in the content of a number of organic compounds in seed tissues: proteins, lipids, sugars, esters, amides, ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, simple ethers, phenols, alcohols, aromatic hydrocarbons, acyclic compounds, alkenes, alkanes and alkynes. The obtained results are important for testing the presence of the necessary organic compounds in the grain or changes in their confor-mation during the selection process. The important advantages of SIR spectroscopy compared to IR spectroscopy include, on the one hand, the preservation of the nativeness of the object (the possibility of conducting research without fixing or staining the object) and simple sample preparation, on the other hand, an effective assessment of the content and conformation of molecules with high sensitivity (resolution about 1.0 cm-1). The implementation of the developed methodology for the formation of molecular breeding technology will increase the profitability of cultivation and the efficiency of breed-ing not only corn, but also other agricultural plants.

AB  - Introduction/purpose: This paper presents the results of several different research studies. The inbred lines ZPPL 146 and ZPPL 159 and the maize hybrids ZP 633, ZP 735, and ZP 737 are primarily intended for human and livestock nutrition. Their selection took about four decades. Methods: Spectral bands were registered using the method of resonant Raman spectroscopy of the leaves of inbred maize lines. These spectral bands indicate the conformational characteristics of not only carotenoid molecules but also other compounds (phosphate, gluten, and amide III) in the leaf. Results: A systematic examination of the inbred lines ZPPL 146 and ZPPL 159 and their maize hybrids ZP 633, ZP 735, and ZP 737 was performed in this paper. It was stated that the new inbred lines of corn, i.e. ZPPL 146 and ZPPL 159, are rich in carotenoids and yellow pigments. These lines also have significant quantities of other valuable bioactive compounds and good physical characteristics. The lines have an upright position of the top leaves and belong to the group of maize lines with significant characteristics of the photosynthetic model. They are resistant to high temperatures and are drought tolerant. Conclusion: This paper presents the relevant properties, characteristics and parameters of the new studied inbred maize lines that can be used in selection processes in the future. High-yielding and high-quality maize hybrids, i.e. ZP 633, ZP 735, and ZP 737, have been created from the mentioned inbred maize lines. They are recognizable by their qualities. The hybrid ZP633 is especially noteworthy for human consumption (children and the elderly). Further, from the agronomic-veterinary point of view, it is confirmed that the hybrids ZP 735 and ZP 737 are the most suitable for livestock feeding with the programmed use of corn silage. The relevant agronomic, morphological and nutritional properties of the maize hybrids ZP 633, ZP 735, and ZP 737 are also presented in this paper. The results regarding the grain structure and yield height for grain and silage for the hybrids ZP 677 and ZP 684, produced in Serbia and the countries of Southeastern Europe, are also given.

AB  - Cover crops (CC) are an important low-input strategy in sustainable agricultural systems. The impact of different CC (common vetch, field pea, winter oats, fodder kale, common vetch + winter oats and field pea + winter oats), organic mulch, control treatment-fallow, and bio-fertilizer (BF) application, on yield and quality of sweet maize kernel was evaluated. CC biomass was higher in mixtures: field pea + winter oats, and common vetch + winter oats, as well as in fodder kale. Kernel yield and its chemical composition varied significantly by CC, BF, year, and their interaction. Organic mulch enhanced the concentration of sugars and glutathione in maize kernel. BF increased kernel yield, the concentration of sugars, vitamin C, Mg, Fe, Zn, and reduced phytate concentration. The highest Mg and Mn concentration in maize kernel was achieved with fodder kale, Zn concentration with common vetch + winter oats + BF, and Fe concentration with winter oats. The same treatments expressed the highest impact on variability in concentration of the phytate, phenolics, and yellow pigment, thus affecting further bio-availability of essential elements. Results indicate that in a semi-arid climate, under rain-fed conditions, CC such as fodder kale and winter oats + common vetch could enhance sweet maize productivity and kernel quality, serving as an important part of a sustainable cropping system, to facilitate food security.

AB  - Frequent variations and extremes in meteorological factors, affect not just yield, but also grain composition of produced crops. Organic crop production has many challenges, particularly under the rain-fed conditions, when water supply is limited and crops could be additionally subjected to the harsh environment. Aim of the research was to follow variations in grain composition of organically produced spelt wheat (var. Nirvana) and red grain maize (var. Rumenka) during 2011-2017 period, which included meteorologically different seasons. Analysed grain components included essential elements: Ca, Mg, Zn, Fe and Mn (determined by ICP-OES), as well as antioxidants, such as polyphenols, yellow pigments (YP), total glutathione (GSH) and phytate (Phy) (determined spectrophotometrically). Results revealed that the lowest concentrations of polyphenols, YP and GSH and slightly reduced Phy in the grains of both, spelt and maize were present during the season with extremely high precipitation, as 2014 was. Nevertheless, drier seasons had positive impact on the accumulation of all examined antioxidants and the highest values were obtained during meteorologically optimal years. Based on the content of essential elements, 2014 was also important for reduced Mg, Fe, Zn and Mn accumulation in spelt grain. For maize, seasons with drought (2012 and 2013) were significant for reduced accumulation of all examined elements. The highest values of all essential elements were noticed in 2016 and 2017, seasons with relative uniform precipitation distribution and optimal temperature during grain filling periods of spelt and maize. Principal component analysis revealed that drier periods present during grain filling induced high variations of GSH, Phy and Mg concentrations in spelt grain, as well as high variations of YP, Mg, Fe, Mn and Zn concentrations in maize grain. It could be assumed that growing season is an important factor affecting nutritional quality of organically produced crops, such as spelt and maize.

AB  - Industrialization of agriculture, as the main food source, resolved the problem 
of food quantity, but other problems, present in environment degradation and 
hidden malnutrition (deficiency in essential minerals and vitamins) were 
upraised. The situation is aggravating when climate change was taken into 
account, whereas conventional agriculture is highly contributing to climate 
change. Thus, a shift to sustainability paradigm and systems are a necessary 
solution. Sustainable systems combine various measures to achieve a high and 
nutrient dense yield of agricultural crops and to preserve or improve agro ecosystem. Soil recovery could be realized by increasing soil organic matter, 
diversity of soil microbiota and other organisms, as a part of the agro ecosystem balance, thus contributing to the increased productivity and food 
quality. Together, sustainable agriculture and sustainable food systems, have an 
important role in the health enhancement of humankind and the agro ecosystem.

captivate higher energy amounts than crop plants. Greater free energy of water indicated increased 
energy consumption for non-spontaneous processes in weeds. Relatively unchanged net heat of

AB  - Crop rotation is a simple and effective part of an Integrated Weed Management (IWM) system. This approach 
makes it possible to rotate herbicides with different modes of action (MOA), avoiding or postponing herbicide 
resistance. Besides all the known advantages and benefits, it is still not widely used in maize (Zea mays L.) 
production. In Serbia, about 20% of total maize production is a continuous cropping. The aim of this research 
was to test the benefits of growing maize in crop rotation with winter wheat (Triticum vulgare L.) compared with a 
continuous cropping, combined with pre-emergence herbicide application. Field trials started in 2009, and five 
maize-winter wheat rotations have been completed. Weeds were controlled with a herbicide mixture of isoxa flutole and S-metolachlor, applied at either the full label rate or half rate, while one plot was kept weed free 
(manually), and one was a control. Integrating crop rotation and PRE herbicides decreased the biomass of weeds 
and their density by 98% and 99%, respectively. In continuous maize, perennial weeds became dominant after 
the first rotation. Crop rotation significantly influenced maize productive parameters, decreasing the variation in 
leaf area index and grain yield, increasing values with the number of cycles. The biggest differences in the 
analyzed parameters were observed in 2015, 2017 and 2019, indicating many positive long-term benefits of crop 
rotation on maize leaf area index and grain yield.

AB  - Due to the intensive application of mineral fertilizers and pesticides, which have a favorable 
effect on increasing productivity but are harmful to the environment, finding an ecological 
way of growing crops, which will provide a sustainable and satisfactory yield, is a growing 
challenge in the world. One of alternative methods that is successfully used for this purpose is 
growing two or more crops simultaneously in the same field. The aim of this study was to 
assess the agronomic value, ie. yield of soybean and common millet intercropped in different 
ways (alternating rows and alternating strips) and compare with monocrops. The experiment 
was set up on the experimental field of the Maize Research Institute "Zemun Polje", during 
2018 and 2020. Soybean (var. Selena) and common millet (var. Biserka) were sown in three 
different combinations (SP, SS-PP, SS-PPPP), as well as control crops, while at the same 
time the influence of bio-fertilizer Coveron (containing mycorrhizal fungi and rhizosphere 
bacteria) was examined. The obtained yields are expressed through the land equivalent ratio 
(LER), while the competition between soybean and millet is described by competitive ratio 
(CR) and aggressivity (A). The results showed that all three examined combinations have 
favorable effect on productivity. The average LER values in all intercrops are greater than 1, 
indicating higher productivity of soybean and millet in intercropping compared to pure crops. 
The highest LER values were achieved in SS-MM combinations (1.48 and 1.28 with and 
without Coveron, respectively). Considering competition, the soybean stood out as more 
competitive and dominant specie, especially in the combinations of alternating strips, where 
CR value of 3.19 and A value of 1.34 were calculated for SS-MMMM combination treated 
with bio-fertilizer. Based on the above results, it can be concluded that expressed 
competitiveness of soybean in relation to millet is favorable for intercropping of these species 
and has agronomic value in sustainable agriculture.

AB  - Intercropping, as sustainable agricultural practice effectively uses environmental resources,
affecting the nutritive quality of crops by modifying the concentration of macro- and microelements
in grain. In order to improve the availability of nutrients from the soil, bio-fertilizers could
also be used successfully in elements management. A field experiment was conducted with soybean (var. Selena) and proso millet (var. Biserka) to examine the integrated influence of intercropping and bio-fertilizer on Ca, Mg, S, Fe and Zn accumulation in grain. Mono-crops (T1 - soybean, T2 - millet), as well as tree planting patterns of intercrop, including alternating rows of soybean and proso millet (T3), alternating strips of two rows of soybean and two rows of millet (T4) and alternating strips of two rows of soybean and four rows of millet (T5), were set up in 2018 and
2020. The same combinations, as subplots, were treated with bio-fertilizer Coveron (C) (containing
mycorrhizal fungi, Trichoderma and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria). After harvest, grains
were dried and milled and preparation of samples was performed using wet digestion procedure
with HClO4 + HNO3. The concentration of Ca, Mg and S were determined by ICP-OES, while Fe
and Zn concentration was measured on ICP-MS. Results showed that Coveron reduced S
concentration in soybean grain, while the status of other elements mainly remained unchanged. In
terms of intercropping, soybean from T5 combination had a significantly higher level of Fe in
comparison to T1 and T3, and higher but not significantly than T4, emphasizing alternating strips as
more effective for accumulation of this element in grain. Combination T3 + C provided the highest
accumulation of Ca, while T5 + C significantly raised Fe concentration. In terms of proso millet,
bio-fertilizer expressed a greater impact on Ca, Fe and Zn by increasing their concentration. On the
other side, all intercrop combinations expressed a positive impact on Fe concentration and
simultaneously reduced Zn concentration. When mutual influence is considered, T4 + C
significantly increased Ca and Fe values, while T2 + C increased Zn value, pointing positive effect
of integrated and sustainable agricultural practices on an accumulation of essential elements in a
grain of proso millet. In conclusion, different intercrop combinations combined with bio-fertilizer
could be successfully used to improve the nutritional quality of soybean and millet grains in terms
of sustainable food production, but further investigations are required to highlight other aspects of
potentially enhanced nutritional quality.

AB  - The environment protection, energy, and resources preservation are especially pronounced under present climate changes. In agriculture, these changes are recognised as drought, high temperatures, occurrence of stormy winds and hail. The aim of this study was to determine variations in seed morphology that are a result of different sowing dates in relation with agro- ecological conditions of maize (Zea mays L.) cultivation. The material used for the study encompassed three inbred lines (G1, G2, G3) sown every 10 d on five sowing dates (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5) starting from 1 April to 10 May, during 2 yr (Y1: 2018, Y2: 2019). The following physical properties of seeds were estimated: width (W), length (L), thickness (Tk), ratio of small (SF) to large fraction (LF) and grain yield (GY). The width was the highest in all three inbreeds on T4 (1.00, 1.03, 0.99 cm, respectively); T5 was the least favourable date for L (1.09, 1.12, 1.09 cm, respectively) while Tk was the lowest in G1 (0.51 cm) and G2 (0.51 cm) sown on T1. The most significant differences in the formation of physical properties occurred in seeds sown on T5 (p ≤ 0.05). The highest differences were observed in width between T5-T4 (-0.223 cm), in length between T5-T2 (-0.309 cm) and in thickness between T5-T3 (-0.129 cm). Later sowing dates favoured LF (85.2%) in comparison to SF (14.7%). Seed size variability participated with 50% in yield formation (R2 ≥ 0.5).

AB  - Crop rotation is a simple and effective part of an Integrated Weed Management (IWM) system. This approach makes it possible to rotate herbicides with different modes of action (MOA), avoiding or postponing herbicide resistance. Besides all the known advantages and benefits, it is still not widely used in maize (Zea mays L.) production. In Serbia, about 20% of total maize production is a continuous cropping. The aim of this research was to test the benefits of growing maize in crop rotation with winter wheat (Triticum vulgare L.) compared with a continuous cropping, combined with pre-emergence herbicide application. Field trials started in 2009, and five maize-winter wheat rotations have been completed. Weeds were controlled with a herbicide mixture of isoxaflutole and S-metolachlor, applied at either the full label rate or half rate, while one plot was kept weed free (manually), and one was a control. Integrating crop rotation and PRE herbicides decreased the biomass of weeds and their density by 98% and 99%, respectively. In continuous maize, perennial weeds became dominant after the first rotation. Crop rotation significantly influenced maize productive parameters, decreasing the variation in leaf area index and grain yield, increasing values with the number of cycles. The biggest differences in the analyzed parameters were observed in 2015, 2017 and 2019, indicating many positive long-term benefits of crop rotation on maize leaf area index and grain yield.

AB  - The application of plant protection products is common in intensive crop production. On the 
other hand, the occurrence of resistance of weeds, pests and pathogens, pollution of 
agroecosystems, even the threat to human health due to the use of pesticides are common problem.
In order to stop or slow down the process of emergence of resistance and to reduce damages to the 
environment, weeds and other pests need to be suppressed by an integrated approach, that is, to 
design a system of measures that would systematically and far-reaching reduce the abundance of 
harmful organisms. In order to effectively control weeds, these issues have been observed at the 
Maize Research Institute, Zemun Polje over past 20 years. 
One of the most important measures within the system of integrated weed management is a 
crop rotation, which, in recent years, has been avoided due to high prices and continuous cropping 
had been used especially in maize production. However, growing maize in the two-yearcrop 
rotation with winter wheat and particularly in the three-year crop rotation with legumes, has been 
contributing to a significant reduction in weediness and in the yield increase. After the eight-year 
application of herbicides in recommended amounts in the three-crop rotation (maize-winter wheat soybean), weed mass decreased by 92.8% compared to the control, while this reduction in 
continuous cropping was 79.8%. Measures, such as tillage and the application of fertilisers, 
increased sowing density or a reduced inter-row distance, also have a significant impact on the 
intensity of weed occurrence in crops. 
With the aim of optimizing the application of herbicides, the effect of different nozzles and 
adjuvants on the herbicide efficiency was observed. The greatest impact on efficiency was 
expressed by adjuvants and to a lesser extent by nozzles, which is why their use together with 
herbicides is recommended for greater efficiency. In the second experiment, the differences 
between nozzles producing fine droplets and those produce large droplets of herbicides were 
assessed in the wind tunnel. Based on the obtained results, higher herbicide deposition was detected 
on every downwind distance using XR nozzle. As expected, higher plant damages were observed 
using XR nozzle, compared to TTI.

AB  - Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers.) is a very common weed in maize fields in
Serbia. Dense Johnsongrass infestations severely limit maize production, especially under
continuous maize cropping. The key tool to manage this weed is to implement multiple
control strategies when Johnsongrass is first observed and not to wait until it is firmly
established.
Experiments were conducted in the Maize Research Institute (MRI), Zemun Polje,
Belgrade, in order to examine how economically driven continuous cropping of maize
influences weed infestation, especially the distribution and abundance of Jonhsongrass,
as well as maize productivity. The maize hybrid ZP 606 was grown in continuous cropping
from 2009 to 2018 at a density of 59,500 plants ha-1. The experimental field was split into
a part treated with the pre-emergence herbicide isoxaflutole + metolachlor (750 + 960 g
a.i.) and untreated control. The level of complete weed infestation was evaluated 4-5 weeks
after herbicide application by determining the number of weed individuals per species
(NI), total fresh biomass (TB) and total dry weight (TDW) of all weeds and Johnsongrass
fresh biomass (JB) and dry weight (JDW). Maize harvest index (HI) and grain yield (GY) were
determined at the end of each growing period.
All measured weed parameters were highly dependent on agro-meteorological
conditions of the year, herbicide application and their interaction. On average, TDW was
760.7 g m-2 in the control plot, and 142.2 g m-2 in the treated plot, while Johnsongrass
participated with 34.8% and 48.7%, respectively. Herbicide application reduced JDW by
77.6% on average, even though its biomass increased over the years. A regression analysis
revealed that GY was negatively influenced by JDW (R2= - 0.094) in untreated control, while
GY was higher with a lower JDW under herbicide treatment (R2=-0.4439). Continuous
cropping of maize should be replaced with crop rotation in order to prevent Johnsongrass
prevalence and to obtain higher crop productivity.
AB  - Divlji siriak (Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers.) je vrlo čest korov na poljima u Srbiji. Intenzivna
zakorovljenost divljim sirkom ozbiljno ograničava proizvodnju kukuruza, naročito kada se

Poljski ogled je izveden u Institutu za kukuruz Zemun Polje, sa ciljem da se utvrdi kako
profitom dirigovano gajenje kukuruza u monokulturi utiče na zakorovljenost, naročito na
rasprostranjenost i brojnost divljeg sirka, kao i na produktivnost kukuruza. Hibrid ZP 606 je
gajen u monokulturi u periodu 2009-2018. godine u gustini od 59.500 biljaka ha-1. Polje pod
kukuruzom u monokulturi je podeljeno na deo na kome je primenjivan herbicid pre nicanja
useva (isoksaflutol + metolahlor (750 + 960 g am) i deo koji nije bio tretiran - kontrola.
Intenzitet zakorovljenosti je određen 4-5 nedelja nakon primene herbicida merenjem broja
jedinki vrsta (NI), ukupne sveže biomase (TB) i ukupne suve mase (TDW) svih korova i sveže
biomase divljeg sirka (SB) i njegove suve mase (JDW). Žetveni indeks (HI) i prinos zrna (GY)
određeni su na kraju vegetacionog perioda kukuruza.
Svi parametri korova u velikoj meri su zavisili od agro-meteorološkoh uslova godine,
primene herbicida i njihove interakcije. U proseku, TDW je iznosila 760,7 g m-2 u kontroli i
142,2 g m-2 na tretiranoj parceli, od čega je udeo suve mase divljeg sirka bio 34,8% u kontroli
i 48.7% na tretiranoj parceli. Primena herbicida smanjila je suvu masu divljeg sirka prosečno
za 77.6%, iako se ona sa godinima povećavala. Prema regresionoj analizi, JDW je negativno
uticala na GY (R2= - 0,094) u kontroli, dok se GY povećavao sa smanjenjem JDW u varijanti
sa primenjenim herbicidom (R2=-0,4439). Monokulturu kukuruza bi trebalo zameniti
plodoredom da bi se sprečilo zakorovljavanje divljim sirkom i postigla veća produktivnost
useva.

AB  - Present experimental data indicate that meteorological conditions, with regard to genotype
and crop density, are the main factor that contribute to grain yield variations of maize hybrids.
H6, as a hybrid with longer vegetative period, responded better, with increased grain yield
when it was grown at D1. Nevertheless, H3 could be characterised as more efficient in kernel
weight accumulation, having higher values of shelling percentage and grain yield. DM accumulation is mainly dependable on maturity group. Thus, hybrids from later groups (H4-H6) had
lesser DM accumulation from phase V to VI (especially at D1) indicating slower assimilates accumulation and/or gradual moisture releasing from the grain. That means that a longer grain
filling period, as the background of high yield achievement, is not closely related to kernel
weight. Grain filling period is the main factor that contributes to yield potential, what is mainly
highlighted in hybrids from early maturity groups (H1-H3), particularly when they were grown
at higher densities (D2), giving them advantage over hybrids from later groups.
AB  - Postojeći pokusni podaci govore kako su meteorološki uvjeti, s obzirom na genotip i gustoću usjeva, glavni faktor koji pridonosi varijabilnosti u prinosu zrna hibrida kukuruza. H6 je,
kao hibrid s duljim vegetativnim razdobljem reagirao bolje s povećanim prinosom zrna kad
je uzgojen pri D1. Ipak, H3 se može okarakterizirati kao efikasniji u nakupljanju mase zrna, s
višim vrijednostima postotka krunjenja i prinosa zrna. Akumulacija suhe tvari uglavnom ovisi
o skupini zriobe. Dakle, hibridi iz kasnijih grupa (H4-H6) imali su manju akumulaciju suhe tvari
od faze V do VI (posebno pri D1), što ukazuje na sporije nakupljanje asimilata i/ili postupno
oslobađanje vlage iz zrna. To znači da dulje razdoblje nalijevanja zrna, kao pozadina postignuća
visokog prinosa, nije usko povezano s masom zrna. Razdoblje nalijevanja zrna glavni je faktor
koji pridonosi potencijalu prinosa, što se uglavnom ističe kod hibrida iz skupina rane zriobe
(H1-H3), osobito kada su uzgajani pri većim gustoćama (D2), što im daje prednost u odnosu na
hibride iz kasnijih grupa.

AB  - Nitrogen is an important macro-nutrient that influences various physiological processes in
plants. Nevertheless, nitrogen could be loosed from the soil by leaching and evaporation. Thus,
low nitrogen inputs are required together with a strategy to improve its utilization by crops.
Maize genotypes exhibit various susceptibility to low soil nitrogen. From that reason, variability
in the reaction of 32 maize lines to growing in conditions with optimal (fertilization with urea),
and with low nitrogen (without fertilization) was examined during 2017 and 2018. All other
growing measures and fertilization with other elements was applied in the same manner on the
whole experimental plot. 2017 was a drier season, with higher average temperatures, particularly
during anthesis and grain filling period.
High variability among genotypes and seasons was present. The values of maize grain yield
and 1000 grain weight were slightly higher in treatment with nitrogen application. Some lines
under the low nitrogen conditions reached even higher grain yields (efficacy of yielding was
139.7% and 156.7%, for 2017 and 2018) than in conditions with optimal nitrogen in the soil, such
as L1, L2, L5, L10, L11, L13, L15, L23 and L31, declaring them as genotypes with high nitrogen
using efficiency. However, these lines achieved moderate yields (in both treatments and years) in
regard to other lines. Among tested lines, L1 and L23 had higher grain yields in both fertilization
treatments indicating them as prominent for further research, i.e. breeding of maize hybrids with
better nitrogen usage from the soil, even in the conditions with low nitrogen.
AB  - Azot je važan makro-element koji je uključen u brojne fiziološke procese kod biljaka. Međutim,
gubici azota iz zemljišta putem ispiranja i evaporacijom mogu biti veliki, tako da su preporučljivi
niži unosi u kombinaciji sa strategijama koje poboljšavaju njegovo usvajanje. Genotipovi
kukuruza različito reaguju na nizak nivo azota u zemljištu. Stoga je ispitana varijabilnost u reakciji
32 linije kukuruza na gajenje u uslovima optimalne obezbeđenosti (đubrenje ureom) i niskog
nivoa azota (bez đubrenja), tokom 2017. i 2018. godine. Sve ostale mere gajenja i đubrenja sa
drugim elementima su primenjene na isti način na celoj eksperimentalnoj površini. 2017. godina
je bila sa manje padavina, sa većim prosečnim dnevnim temperaturama, posebno tokom perioda
cvetanja i nalivanja zrna kukuruza.
Bila je prisutna visoka varijabilnost između ispitivanih genotipova i sezona. Vrednosti prinosa
i mase 1000 zrna su bile nešto niže na delu ogleda bez đubrenja azotom. Na istom delu ogleda
su neke linije (L1, L2, L5, L10, L11, L13, L15, L23 i L31) imale čak veći prinos, u odnosu na deo
ogleda sa optimalnim nivoom azota u zemljištu (efikasnost prinosa je bila 139.7% i 156.7%, za
2017. i 2018.), karakterišući ih stoga kao vrlo efikasne u smislu iskorišćenja azota. Međutim,
navedene linije su ostvarile nešto niže vrednosti prinosa zrna (u oba tretmana i u obe godine)
u odnosu na ostale linije. Od svih ispitivanih, L1 i L23 su imale relativno veće prinose u oba
tretmana, što ukazuje da bi mogle biti pogodne za dalja istraživanja, tj. u oplemenjivanju hibrida
sa boljom efikasnošću iskorišćenja azota čak i u uslovima njegovog niskog sadržaja u zemljištu

su neke linije (L1, L2, L5, L10, L11, L13, L15, L23 i L31) imale čak veći prinos, u odnosu na deo
ogleda sa optimalnim nivoom azota u zemljištu (efikasnost prinosa je bila 139.7% i 156.7%, za
2017. i 2018.), karakterišući ih stoga kao vrlo efikasne u smislu iskorišćenja azota. Međutim,
navedene linije su ostvarile nešto niže vrednosti prinosa zrna (u oba tretmana i u obe godine)
u odnosu na ostale linije. Od svih ispitivanih, L1 i L23 su imale relativno veće prinose u oba
tretmana, što ukazuje da bi mogle biti pogodne za dalja istraživanja, tj. u oplemenjivanju hibrida
sa boljom efikasnošću iskorišćenja azota čak i u uslovima njegovog niskog sadržaja u zemljištu",

AB  - Nitrogen (N) is an important element for many physiological processes in crops, and grain yield realisation. Nitrogen loss could be significant through leaching and evaporation, and from this reason lower quantities for fertilization are required. A genotype could be an important source for improved N management in crops. Breeding for high yield and nutrient-efficient genotypes is the most important strategy to enable food security, resolve resource scarcity and environmental pollution. Variability of 36 maize lines grown in optimal and low-N (without fertilization) conditions was assessed through grain yield, 1000 kernel weight, N utilization efficiency (NUtE) and N apparent recovery fraction (nitrogen use efficiency – NUE), during seasons 2017 and 2018. The
genotype and year are important sources for variation of grain yield, 1000 kernel weight and NUtE, as a factor which defines N utilization efficiency. The lines, such as L1, L6, L13, L16, L26, L27, L32 and L34 are able to achieve higher grain yield when grown on low-N. Furthermore, L16, L22, L24 and L26 have high NUtE values in both experimental years (even in 2017, season with low and unequal precipitation level), especially in low-N treatment. From that point of view, they could be characterized as efficient N users, even in low-N conditions, as well as tolerant to stressful conditions. Nevertheless, L1, L6 and L27 are the lines with negative NUE, what gives them attribute as the best N users in low-N conditions. Based on the similarity of NUtE values, the genotypes such as L2, L3, L4, L8, L11, L12, L14, L15, L16, L18, L19, L24, L26, L32, L33, L34 could be considered as the primary focus for further breeding programs, due to the fact that they don’t have only improved NUE, but also high grain yield (even in unfavourable years), which indicates improved tolerance to various abiotic stressful factors.

AB  - The effects of different measures within maize cropping technology, aimed to suppress weeds as a part of integrated weed management (IWM) system, are analysed and evaluated in this manuscript, in line with the results of longterm experiments. For sustainable maize (Zea mays L.) production, implementation of IWM system aiming to reduce reliance on chemical weed control within Europe is a key priority. This IWM system includes all possible solutions, such as preventive, direct, biological, mechanical and alternative measures. A cropping system approach
is essential to manage weeds, utilize genetic potential of maize genotypes and reduce yield losses due to weed competition. Long-term experiments are nowadays rare, but they are an excellent and reliable method for comparing cropping systems regarding yield and reduction of weed infestation level. In the research program implemented at the Maize Research Institute Zemun Polje in Central Serbia, the effects of different cropping measures and their interactions
as a part of IWMs were studied during ten years. Maize rotations with winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), combined with herbicide application, showed the best effect on weed biomass reduction, 92.1% and 92.2%, respectively. Winter wheat was a better preceding crop for maize than soybean, especially in combination with herbicides applied in recommended as well as in half of recommended rate. Intensification of soil tillage significantly reduced maize weed infestation, especially abundance of perennial species: Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers.), Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop.) and field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.). Other measures, such as type of fertilizer, maize row space and crop density, cover cropping and intercropping also affected weed biomass production in maize fields. Maize growing with reduced row spacing contributed to weed biomass reduction by 27.4%, while application of slow-release urea contributed to crop competitiveness. Weed biomass in sweet maize (Zea mays L. convar. saccharata) grown with common vetch as a cover crop was significantly reduced (48.5 g m-2) compared with the treatment without a cover crop

abstract = "The effects of different measures within maize cropping technology, aimed to suppress weeds as a part of integrated weed management (IWM) system, are analysed and evaluated in this manuscript, in line with the results of longterm experiments. For sustainable maize (Zea mays L.) production, implementation of IWM system aiming to reduce reliance on chemical weed control within Europe is a key priority. This IWM system includes all possible solutions, such as preventive, direct, biological, mechanical and alternative measures. A cropping system approach
is essential to manage weeds, utilize genetic potential of maize genotypes and reduce yield losses due to weed competition. Long-term experiments are nowadays rare, but they are an excellent and reliable method for comparing cropping systems regarding yield and reduction of weed infestation level. In the research program implemented at the Maize Research Institute Zemun Polje in Central Serbia, the effects of different cropping measures and their interactions
as a part of IWMs were studied during ten years. Maize rotations with winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), combined with herbicide application, showed the best effect on weed biomass reduction, 92.1% and 92.2%, respectively. Winter wheat was a better preceding crop for maize than soybean, especially in combination with herbicides applied in recommended as well as in half of recommended rate. Intensification of soil tillage significantly reduced maize weed infestation, especially abundance of perennial species: Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers.), Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop.) and field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.). Other measures, such as type of fertilizer, maize row space and crop density, cover cropping and intercropping also affected weed biomass production in maize fields. Maize growing with reduced row spacing contributed to weed biomass reduction by 27.4%, while application of slow-release urea contributed to crop competitiveness. Weed biomass in sweet maize (Zea mays L. convar. saccharata) grown with common vetch as a cover crop was significantly reduced (48.5 g m-2) compared with the treatment without a cover crop
 (564.3 g m-2)., Straipsnyje analizuojama kukurūzų įvairių auginimo priemonių ir auginimo technologijų įtaka piktžolių mažėjimui ilgalaikio eksperimento metu.

AB  - To control weeds and cultivate maize (Zea mays L.) with higher yields, production systems have to include more efficient forms of N and appropriate herbicide treatments. The timing of N release could give maize an advantage over weeds in competition for resources, whereas cultivation at lower row spacing often decreases weed biomass. Knowledge about the different factors affecting herbicide efficiency increases the accuracy and reliability of chemical control. This study tested the weed infestation level and the development and productivity of a recently developed maize hybrid grown with the application of several integrated practices. The maize hybrid was sown with application of standard and slow-releasing urea, with row spacing of 50 and 70 cm and treatment with either a pre-emergence or a post-emergence mix of herbicides. The numbers of plants of each weed species and their biomass were lower after the application of herbicides, although N form and row spacing produced no significant differences in the average weed infestation level for 3 yr. The post-emergence herbicide treatment was more effective than the pre-emergence treatment for weed biomass reduction and enhancing maize yield parameters. The N form did not influence any measured yield parameter, whereas the 70-cm row spacing resulted in significantly higher harvest index and grain yield (0.45 and 9.19 Mg ha−1, respectively) than the 50-cm spacing (0.43 and 7.36 Mg ha−1, respectively). The wider row spacing resulted in higher grain yield through its interaction with N form and herbicide treatment.

AB  - To achieve efficient weed control through cover cropping, the plant species chosen is very 
important. Growing different legume cover crop (CC) species single and in mixtures with 
grass may increase the number of provided ecosystem services, including reliable suppression 
of weeds. We conducted an experiment using randomized complete block design with four 
replications in 2014/15 - 2015/16 growing seasons, at the Experimental Field of Maize 
Research Institute in Zemun Polje (Serbia). Single cover crops were considered as the main 
factor (common vetch and field pea), mixtures common vetch and field pea with winter oats
and traditional variant, without coverage on biomass. Green biomass of the cover crops was 
incorporated in the soil, and treatments with favorable establishment and above-average 
biomass yields tended to suppress weeds by showing lower weed dry matter and weed 
numbers. The weediness of sweet maize was much higher in the second year of investigation. 
The number of weed species, fresh and dry biomass of weeds were the least in the variants 
with mixtures, while the number of plants per specieswas the lowest in the single cover crops. 
So, mixtures were not as effective as legume single sown CCs, species combinations 
increased resilience against adverse weather conditions, an advantage to achieving efficient 
weed control over a long-term period. The statistically significant difference in the fresh 
biomass of weeds obtained in the control variant (540.46 and 385.88 g) was especially 
pronounced compared to the variants with single cover crops (391.63 and 486.53 g) and their 
mixtures (260.00 and 250.78 g), indicating a higher proportion of perennial weed species.

AB  - The uniform seed material is a prerequisite of stable yields. Therefore, the aim of the study was to observe variability of physiological seed traits depending on the classification of seeds by size and shape, and to determine advantages of large over small seed fractions. Three maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids (ZP 505, ZP 677, ZP 684), produced in two locations (Orahovo, Plavna), were  classified into six fractions; small flat seed (SFS), medium small flat seed (MSFS), large flat
seed (LFS), small round seed (SRS), medium small round seed (MSRS) and large round seed (LRS). Two laboratory treatments were applied on seed: TR1 (cold test) and TR2 (20/30 ºC). In both temperature treatments, the first evaluation was done after 72-h germination, and then every 24 h until 7th day. The highest total germination (G) was recorded for ZP 677 (93.7%), location Orahovo (94.9%), temperature TR2 (95.2%) and MSFS fraction (89.7%). The total proportion of
factors in the variance for G was R2  = 0.694. Locations and genotypes predominantly affected the germination rate (GR), η = 0.338. Flat fraction seeds had more rapid emergence (> 90%) of seedlings than the round fraction seeds (> 85%). Round seeds were more susceptible and seed size had a greater effect on vigour than LRS, 70%. The partial effect of the fraction on G was not estimated (η = 0.037), but its cumulative effect with other factors was evident (Hybrid × Fraction,
η = 0.070).

AB  - Sustainable agriculture considers production of high quality food and feed with minimal impact on environment. Intercropping is one of the most efficient ways to produce valuable biomass for animal feed rich in nutrients. Intercrop combinations: alternating rows of soybean and proso millet (S-M), alternating strips with 2 rows of soybean and 2 rows of millet (SS-MM-SS) and alternating strips with 2 rows of soybean and 4 rows of millet (SS-MMMM-SS); single crop of soybean and single crop of proso millet were tested. The effect of bio-fertilizer Coveron was also followed. Aboveground biomass was harvested and land equivalent ratio (LER), as well as leaf area index (LAI) was determined. All intercropping combinations increased LAI of soybean when compared to monocrop, to 43% and 84% in SS-MM-SS combination with and without Coveron, respectively. Coveron slightly increased LAI. The highest values of biomass yield were obtained in S-M intercrop for soybean (39% and 42% higher in relation to monocrop, in combination with and without Coveron, respectively) and in monocrop for proso millet. Nevertheless, the highest LER value was obtained for SS-MM-SS combination without Coveron (1.12). In intercrops treated with Coveron slightly lower LER values were obtained for S-M and SS-MMMM-SS combination (0.97 and 0.98, respectively). Irrespective to sowing way, results indicate that 1:1 ratio of soybean and proso millet in intercrop (S-M and SS-MM-SS combinations) is the most promising way to achieve high biomass yield.
AB  - Održiva poljoprivreda obuhvata proizvodnju visoko-kvalitetne hrane i hraniva sa minimalnim uticajem na životnu sredinu. Združivanje useva je jedan od najefikasnijih načina za dobijanje biomase visoke hranljive vrednosti. Ispitivane su sledeće kombinacije združenih useva: naizmenični redovi soje i prosa (S-M), naizmenične trake 2 reda soje i 2 reda prosa (SS-MM-SS) i naizmenične trake 2 reda soje i 4 reda prosa (SS-MMMM-SS); samostalni usev soje i samostalni usev prosa. Praćen je takođe i uticaj mikrobiološkog đubriva Coveron. Nadzemna biomasa je sakupljena i odnos ekvivalenata zemljišta (LER) kao i indeks lisne površine (LAI) su određeni. Sve kombinacije združenih useva utiču na povećanje indeksa lisne površine soje u odnosu na samostalni usev, do 43% i 84% u SS-MM-SS kombinaciji sa i bez Coveron-a. Coveron neznatno utiče na povećanje LAI, u proseku. Najviši prinos biomase je postignut u S-M kombinaciji za soju (39% i 42% viša u odnosu na čisti usev, u kombinaciji sa i bez Coveron-a) i u čistom usevu za proso. Ipak, najveća vrednost LER-a je dobijena za SS-MM-SS kombinaciju bez Coveron-a (1.12). Kod združenih useva tretiranih Coveron-om, slične vrednosti LER-a su dobijene za S-M i SS-MMMM -SS kombinacije (0.97 i 0.98). Bez obzira na način setve, rezultati pokazuju da je 1:1 odnos soje i prosa u združenim usevima (S-M i SS-MM-SS kombinacije) najperspektivniji način da se postignu visoki prinosi biomase.

abstract = "Sustainable agriculture considers production of high quality food and feed with minimal impact on environment. Intercropping is one of the most efficient ways to produce valuable biomass for animal feed rich in nutrients. Intercrop combinations: alternating rows of soybean and proso millet (S-M), alternating strips with 2 rows of soybean and 2 rows of millet (SS-MM-SS) and alternating strips with 2 rows of soybean and 4 rows of millet (SS-MMMM-SS); single crop of soybean and single crop of proso millet were tested. The effect of bio-fertilizer Coveron was also followed. Aboveground biomass was harvested and land equivalent ratio (LER), as well as leaf area index (LAI) was determined. All intercropping combinations increased LAI of soybean when compared to monocrop, to 43% and 84% in SS-MM-SS combination with and without Coveron, respectively. Coveron slightly increased LAI. The highest values of biomass yield were obtained in S-M intercrop for soybean (39% and 42% higher in relation to monocrop, in combination with and without Coveron, respectively) and in monocrop for proso millet. Nevertheless, the highest LER value was obtained for SS-MM-SS combination without Coveron (1.12). In intercrops treated with Coveron slightly lower LER values were obtained for S-M and SS-MMMM-SS combination (0.97 and 0.98, respectively).

AB  - Soil tillage system is a basic in maize crop production. Under variable climatic conditions and 
frequent occurrences of dry years, soil tillage adjusted to the soil type, agro-ecological 
conditions and the crop, can contribute to the achievement of the maximum yield potential. 
Systems of reduced tillage, particularly direct sowing, have been widely used in Europe. 
Under agro-ecological conditions of central Serbia, the highest maize yields have been 
achieved by using conventional soil tillage with 20-25-cm deep autumn ploughing and a
single pass land preparation in spring as 10-12-cm shallow tillage. In the Maize Research 
Institute, Zemun Polje, the long-term experiment was conducted (2005-2016) in order to test 
the efficacy of zero-, reduced and conventional tillage together with the application of 
different rates of mineral fertilisers in maize cultivation. The experiment was performed under 
rainfed and irrigation conditions. The data were processed by four factorials ANOVA and 
differences were analysed by the LSD-test. Based on the precipitation sum in the investigated 
period, three years were extremely dry, four were moderately dry and five were favourable for 
maize production. Under irrigation conditions, the 12-year maize grain yield average was
higher by 2.1 t ha-1
than under rainfed conditions. Under rainfed conditions, differences 
between conventional and reduced or zero-tillage were 1.7, and 1.3 t ha-1
, respectively, while 
under irrigated conditions conventional tillage was more productive by 1.4 t ha-1
than reduced 
and zero-tillage, respectively. In some dry years, such 2012, the maize grain yield was higher 
under conditions of reduced tillage than conventional tillage.

AB  - Exogenous application of chemical elicitors to plants can be successfully used to reduce
damage caused by abiotic stresses and consequently to enhance productivity. Different
organic peroxides, applied foliarly as DMSO solution, were used in this study with the
aim to examine variations in grain yield and main nutrient status, i.e. protein, starch and
oil contents, of four maize inbred lines. Results showed that two genotypes reacted
positively on applied treatments, achieving higher grain yields than control group, with
differences up to 2-3 t ha-1. In total, one of the applied peroxides expressed the highest
impact on yield enhance. In terms of nutritive quality, the same treatment mostly
increased the starch content. With regard to protein content, higher value was achieved
by the same genotype which had higher grain yield, and for oil content, variations in
results among treatments were insignificant and irregular. This indicates that synthetic
elicitors, such as organic peroxides, could be used not only to increase grain yield, but
also to modify grain nutritional quality in regard to genotype variability.
