| Abstract | Water is a crucial factor for the growth of maize. Proper irrigation enhances root respiration, air circulation, soil moisture, and soil fertility, all of which contribute to seed production. There are various irrigation methods to mitigate the risk of water deficiency. This study investigated the effects of irrigation methods on seed production of Takhfa 1 Inbred line Maize in the Lop Buri soil series. The experiment was designed as a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 6 treatments and 4 replications consisting of two irrigation methods (drip and rain spray) with three water application levels (50%, 75%, and 100% of maize evapotranspiration). The results indicated that rain spray irrigation at 75% of maize evapotranspiration yielded the highest grain yield (760 kg/rai), surpassing other treatments. This method also positively influenced shelling percentage, seed moisture content, 100-grain weight, and seed size. Additionally, the rain spray Irrigation influenced the growth in terms of plant height, SPAD value in maize leaves, day to silking and day to tasseling, and leaf senescence. These findings suggest that rain spray irrigation at 75% of maize evapotranspiration is an effective strategy for cultivating the Takhfa 1 inbred line maize, leading to higher yields and improved crop quality. |
