Summary: | At present, the leaf analysis is the method of greatest relevance in the definition and interpretation of nutritional status of plants. The correct interpretation of the nutritional status of the crop is only possible when it regionalizes reference values (standards). This study aimed to determine reference values for the interpretation of the results of leaf analysis of maize through the use of methods of interpretation: critical levels (CL), sufficiency range (SR) and balanced indexes of Kenworthy (BIK). Sampling of soil, leaves and productivity was conducted in 120 commercial crops of corn, in the crop year of 2010/2011 and 2011/2012, in the region of Alto Paranaiba, MG. To generate the diagnostic indexes by the methods SR and BIK, the population was divided into two sub-populations: with the productivity above and below 11,795 kg [ha.sup.-1]. Levels and normal ranges proposed by the cited methods were very similar. The amplitude of optimum ranges were lower when compared to that one found in the literature. The diagnostic indexes regionalized by the methods CL, SR and BIK increased the reliability when diagnosing plots with the same characteristics of the standards approved in relation to universal reference values.

A interpretacao correta sobre o estado nutricional da cultura so e possivel quando se regionalizam os valores de referencia. Objetivou-se, com este trabalho, determinar indices diagnosticos para interpretacao de resultados de analise foliar de milho mediante o uso dos metodos de interpretacao: Nivel critico (NC), Faixa de suficiencia (FS) e Indices Balanceados de Kenworthy (IBK). Amostraram-se solos, folhas e produtividade em 120 lavouras de milho, nas safras agricolas 2010/2011 e 2011/2012, na regiao do Alto Paranaiba, MG. Para gerar os indices diagnosticos pelos metodos FS e IBK a populacao foi dividida em duas subpopulacoes, com base na produtividade: acima ou abaixo de 11.795 kg [ha.sup.-1]. Os teores de nutrientes propostos como adequados pelos metodos citados foram semelhantes. A amplitude das faixas otimas foi menor que a encontrada na literatura para milho. Os indices diagnosticos regionalizados pelos metodos NC, FS e IBK aumentam a confiabilidade ao diagnosticar talhoes com as mesmas caracteristicas das normas estabelecidas em relacao a valores de referenci |
