RESUMO – A resposta do milho safrinha a adubação nitrogenada depende das condições ambientais e a inoculação das sementes do milho com Azospirillum pode contribuir para o fornecimento de nitrogênio e o desenvolvimento das plantas. No entanto, são escassos os resultados que comprovam que a inoculação das sementes substitui parcialmente a adubação nitrogenada. Portanto, objetivou-se avaliar a resposta do milho safrinha a inoculação de sementes com Azospirillum e a aplicação de nitrogênio em cobertura. Foram implantados dois ensaios em Montividiu, GO em 2011 e 2012. Utilizou-se o delineamento em blocos casualizados com seis repetições. Em 2011, foi empregado o esquema fatorial 2x4 (sem e com inoculação de A. brasilense e quatro doses de nitrogênio em cobertura) e, em 2012, o esque-ma fatorial 5x4 (cinco tratamentos de inoculação com A. brasilense e quatro doses de nitrogênio em cobertura). Em 2011, houve resposta ao nitrogênio apenas para as variáveis altura de inserção de espiga e nitrogênio foliar e interação inoculante x doses de nitrogênio para altura de inserção de espiga. Em 2012, a inoculação e a adubação em cobertura proporcionaram maiores rendimentos de grãos e altura de plantas e a inoculação aumentou o vigor, as alturas da planta e da inserção da espiga e o rendimento de grãos da cultura, sem interação entre estes dois fatores.

SEED INOCULATION IN OFF-SEASON MAIZE WITH Azospirillum AND NITROGEN TOPDRESSING APLICATION
ABSTRACT – The response of off-season maize to the nitrogen fertilization depends on the environmental conditions and the inoculation of corn seeds with Azospirillum can contribute to the supply of nitrogen and development of plants. However, there are few results to demonstrate that the seed inoculation replaces partially the nitrogen fertilization. Thus, que present study aimed to evaluate the response of off-season maize to seed inoculation with Azospirillum and the topdress nitrogen application. Two experiments were accomplished at Montividiu-GO in 2011 and 2012. A randomized block design was used, with six replications. The 2x4 factorial design was used in 2011 (with and without inoculation of A. brasilense and four doses of topdressed nitrogen) and the 5x4 factorial scheme in 2012 (five treatments of inoculation with A. brasilense and four doses of topdressed nitrogen). In 2011, the response to nitrogen was only observed for ear insertion height and leaf nitrogen, and for the interation inoculant x nitrogen levels to ear insertion height. In 2012, inoculation and topdress fertilization provided the highest grain yield and plant height, and inoculation increased the vigor, plant height, ear height and crop yield without interaction between these two factors.
