Experiments were conducted in two consecutive years to investigate the response of two corn (Zea mays, L.) cultivars, Eperon and Challenger, to timing of N fertilizer in a desert climate. Fertilizer was applied three times (at planting, 6 weeks after sowing (6WAS) and at 9WAS) to give a seasonal total of 180 kg N ha‐1 The N treatments were Nooo (control), NLOH (60 kg N ha‐1 at planting, none at 6WAS and 120 kg N ha‐1 at 9WAS), NLLL (60 kg N ha‐1 at sowing, 6WAS and at 9WAS) and NLOH, (60 kgN ha‐1 at planting, 120 kg N ha‐1 at 6WAS and none at 9WAS). Generally, N ha‐1 was associated with the highest grain and dry matter yields. Plants in N treated plots had significantly larger number of leaves and ear leaf N contents than the control at mid‐silk. High ear leaf N was associated with high leaf area index and dry matter yield. Based on these results, it would appear that the application of 60 kg N ha‐1 at planting, followed by 120 kg N ha at 6WAS (NLHO) is the most suitable for enhancing corn yields in the desert climate.
