This thesis deals with the influence of foliar application of selected forms of zinc on the yield and quality of corn grain (Zea mays L.). The issue was dealt with in the form of a small-plot vegetation experiment on the landfill site in Žabčice. Zinc was applied in the 6-8 leaf phase in three forms of ZnO, ZnSO4 and Zn-EDTA at doses of 100, 250 and 500 g.ha-1 in each of them. A zinc-free variant was used as a control. In the course of vegetation (14 days after fertilizer application (20 June 2018)) and after harvesting, an inorganic analysis of the plants (Zn content) was carried out, NDVI and NDRE index were determined during vegetation. After harvest, the yield, starch content and weight of a thousand seeds were determined. Zinc fertilization proved to be (p≤0.05) affected by the zinc content during vegetation, but had no effect on NDVI and NDRE index. Grain yield was positively influenced, although no proven zinc effect was demonstrated. WTS and starch content in the grain were neither demonstrably affected nor significantly different from control. Zinc content in the grain was not significantly affected, but zinc fertilization was positive.
