This study aimed to evaluate the effect of phosphorus (P) and modes of nitrogen (N) and P application in corn under long-term no-tillage in a clayey Oxisol. Two experiments were carried out in the same experimental area and in the same year, in a randomized blocks design with four replications. In experiment I, the treatments consisted of five doses of phosphorus (0, 40, 80, 120 and 160 kg ha-1 of P2O5) applied in the sowing furrow. In experiment II, the treatments consisted of the N and P application modes (topdressing, in the sowing furrow and control - without N and P). Experiment I evaluated the root length, P uptake and grain yield and, the Experiment II, the firing height and yield. The P rates provided linear increases in root length in the 0-10 cm layer, P uptake and grain production. The different modes of application provided differences in the firing height and corn yield. The control treatment (0 kg ha-1 of N and P) provided the highest firing height, superior than those of topdressing and application in the furrow, which were not significantly different. The topdress application of N and P provided an increase in corn yield that exceeded 16 and 42% of the application in the furrow and the control, respectively. Thus, the results confirmed that increasing rates of P2O5, in soil with high initial P content, influence positively corn production factors, but with little significant responses, and the topdress application of N and P on soil with high P content, without water restriction, provided increased grain yield in relation to the application in the furrow. O sistema plantio direto proporciona, ao solo, altera es que atuam profundamente na dinamica de nutrientes, alterando as doses necess¨¢rias e as formas de aplica o de fertilizantes. Esse estudo teve por objetivo avaliar o efeito de doses de f¨®sforo (P) e de modos de aplica o de nitrog¨ºnio (N) e P, na cultura do milho sob plantio direto de longa dura o, em um Latossolo Vermelho argiloso. Dois experimentos foram desenvolvidos, na mesma ¨¢rea experimental e no mesmo ano, sendo utilizado o delineamento de blocos ao acaso, com quatro repeti es. Em um experimento, os tratamentos foram constitu¨ªdos por cinco doses do f¨®sforo (0, 40, 80, 120 e 160 kg ha-1 de P2O5) aplicadas no sulco de semeadura. Em outro experimento, os tratamentos foram constitu¨ªdos pelos modos de aplica o de N e P (a lan o, localizado no sulco e controle - sem aplica o de N e P).
