The grains’ percentage of crude oil and of crude protein were determined. Field experiments were planned following randomized complete block design with three replications and included six irrigation treatments. Irrigation treatments were created as water levels of pan evaporation (E<sub>pan</sub>) applied via drip irrigation [1.25 × E<sub>pan</sub> (I<sub>125</sub>), 1.00 × E<sub>pan</sub> (I<sub>100</sub>), 0.75 × E<sub>pan</sub> (I<sub>75</sub>), 0.50 × E<sub>pan</sub> (I<sub>50</sub>), 0.25 × E<sub>pan</sub> (I<sub>25</sub>) and 0 × E<sub>pan</sub> (I<sub>0</sub>)].

A quadratic relationship between grain yield and irrigation water applied was obtained. Deficit irrigation decreased grain yield and yield components except the percentage of crude oil and crude protein of grain, but improved the efficient use of irrigation water. Relationships between the grain yield and each yield component were positively significant. The highest correlation coefficient in the research gave the relationship between grain yield and plant height (r=0.957<sup>**</sup>). The results revealed that 1.25 × E<sub>pan</sub> and 1.00 × E<sub>pan</sub>treatments are preferable for higher yield. The results of this study also suggest that if water is limited, the application of 0.75 × E<sub>pan</sub> can be recommended as optimal treatment, because the best compromise among yield, yield components, quality and irrigation water use efficiency for maize was achieved with this application.</span></p></body></html>http://www.notulaebotanicae.ro/index.php/nbha/article/view/9602
