Sažetak
Maize is the most widespread crop on arable lands in Croatia. It occupies about 0.4 million hectares or a fourth of arable land areas. In general, under environmental conditions of Eastern Croatia, there is usually a close connection between low maize yields and precipitation shortage combined with high air- temperatures. Two growing seasons (2000 and 2003) were especially unfavorable for maize growing. For example, low yields for 2000 (34% lower in comparison with four previous years) is mainly influenced by water deficit. In 2003 they were in association with drought in June- August (30% lower precipitaion) combined with high air-temperatures - mean 23.3 oC or for 2.8 oC higher than 30-year mean. Water deficit becoming main limiting factor of maize yields in Eastern Croatia under dry farming system. The objective of this study was to examine association between maize yield and weather characteristics. Irrigation is needed for minimizing annually yield variations.
