Green corn grown during the dry season in the semiarid region produces lower ear yields compared to that grown during the rainy season. However, adopting more efficient nitrogen fertilization methods can improve ear yield during the dry season. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different nitrogen application methods, via fertigation, conventional application, and their combinations, on green corn ear yield during the rainy and dry seasons. We conducted the research under field conditions in two distinct growing seasons (rainy and dry), representing two independent experiments with the same experimental design, carried out at UNILAB in Reden & ccedil;& atilde;o, Cear & aacute;, Brazil. The treatments consisted of four nitrogen application strategies: FF = 100% of the recommended dose via fertigation; FC = 100% via conventional application; FF+FC = 50% via fertigation at the initial growth stage + 50% via conventional application; and FC+FF = 50% via conventional application + 50% via fertigation in topdressing. The FF and FC+FF fertilization methods promoted better agronomic performance in green corn. The rainy season resulted in higher ear yield. During the dry season, the FF method led to the highest ear yield, while in the rainy season, both FF and FC+FF methods resulted in superior green corn yield.
