Abstract

The test was conducted at the Production and Practice Center Río Verde, owned by the Santa Elena Peninsula State University, located in Río Verde commune, Santa Elena canton, the research aimed to evaluate the effect of irrigation variations into agronomic performance of corn under different irrigation sheets using as measuring tool evaporation A class Pan. The treatments were five doses of irrigation 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100% of evapotranspiration, treatments were placed in a complete randomized design of blocks with four replications, the averages compared with the Tukey test (p> 0.05). The regression analysis fits a quadratic equation and the coefficient of determination R2 0,91 which shows the high degree of dependence of results based on irrigation variants. The highest production was obtained by the treatment with 90% with 12,18 t.ha-1.
