Maize lines are susceptible to various stress factors, including herbicides. The experiment included
three susceptible maize lines (ZPKŠ8/1-161su – L1, ZPP608-2/11112111k – L2 and ZPT165b – L3),
tested in the field conditions during 2015 and 2016. Herbicide treatments were: nicosulfuron
(H1), mesotrione (H2), tembotrione+isoxadifen-ethyl (H3), applied in BBCH 15-16 of maize lines at
recommended doses (RD): H1 – 0.75 L ha-1 (45 g ha-1a.i.), H2 – 1.2 l ha-1 (756 g ha-1a.i.) and H3 – 2 l ha-1
(840 + 420 g ha-1a.i.) and double doses (DD): H1 – 1.5 L ha-1 (90 g ha-1a.i.), H2 – 2.4 l ha-1 (1512 g ha 1
a.i.) and H3 – 4 l ha-1 (1680 + 840 g ha-1a.i.), and control was without herbicide application. Inbreed
lines leaves were sampled 2 days (phase I), 7 days (phase II) and 21 days (phase III) after herbicide
application. Fresh mass (FM) and dry mass (DM), after drying at 60 °C were measured.
Higher fluctuations of FM in phase III, as well as DM in all three phases were present in 2...016, in
comparison to 2015. Phase I was characterised with slightly higher average FM in RD treatment,
but higher FM in DD treatments for all herbicides, compared to control. In phase II, lines L2 and
L3 had the lowest FM in H3 treatment. Nevertheless, H3 in DD expressed potentially stimulative
effect, increasing FM values for L2 and L3 in RD and for L1 in DD. DD treatments were characterised
with higher DM concentration for all three genotypes, compared to RD. Present data indicate that
meteorological factors highly affect herbicide effect, elevating toxicity, even in phase I. However,
up to the 21th day after application H3 expressed even stimulative effect by increasing FM and
decreasing DM concentration in maize leaves.
