Therefore, in the field experiments, the effects of three factors namely; a) irrigation rates (optimum 240 mm, high 360 mm), b) N application times (all at planting, 1/2 at planting and 1/2 after planting when plant heights were 50 cm), c) N application methods (sidedress and broadcast) were investigated. The field experiments were conducted using randomized block desing as split-split plot with 4 replications. As the test plant hybrid corn (TUM-82-2) was sowed on a 0.80 m row spacing and 0.25 m seed spacing. Nitrogen was applied 120 kgN/ha to the all treatments as urea fertilizer (46 % N). In addition, to the subplots (which received half of N at planting and the other half when plant heights were 50 cm) 15N labelled urea (2.63 % 15N atom excess as 120 kgN/ha) was applied. After harvesting, total N and 15N analyses were done for different plant parts and soil samples. The results showed us that the seed and total yields were increased with higher (360 mm) irrigation. When N application was sidedressed the availability of N was increased, and also its’ loss by leaching from the active root zone was decreased. In conclusion, it was observed that at high irrigation rate was saved about 84 kgN/ha by sidedressing rather than broadcasting of the applied N fertilizer.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNitrogen and water regimeAzot ve su rejimiCorn yieldsMısır verimiN-15 tracer techniqueN-15 izleyici tekniğiNitrogen and water regime effects on corn yields determined by N-15 tracer techniqueconferenceObject3.c.136144
