One of important measures in agriculture is a crop rotation. It is known that a crop rotation is
associated with high yields, and suppressing of pathogens and weeds. It is a cheap measure –
only decision is needed. On the other hand, a crop rotation gives possibility to use different
crops and different pesticides (herbicides), what could be beneficial in anti-resistant strategy.
The aim of this work was to evaluate maize growing in a crop rotation with winter wheat and
maize monoculture. The field trial was set up in 2009 on an experimental field of the Maize
Research Institute “Zemun Polje” in Serbia. This paper presents the results from 2017– after
eight years of growing maize in monoculture and after four maize-winter wheat rotations.
Maize hybrids ZP 677 and ZP 606 were tested in the experiment. Herbicide combination of
isoxaflutole and s-metolachlor was applied (in recommended and ½ of recommended dose)
for weed control. The effects of the crop rotation on maize were ev...aluated by observing the
leaf area and plant height (at the anthesis stage), as well as the grain yield. In the crop rotation
treatments the leaf area and plant height were significantly higher when compared to maize
grown in monoculture. Irrespective to unfavourable meteorological conditions, both hybrids
had higher yields when grown in rotations with winter wheat, in comparison to monoculture.
