SOWING AND PLANTING PERIOD ON YIELD AND EAR QUALITY OF SWEET CORN (Zea mays L. var. saccharata)

摘要: Sweet corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharata) attracts people with its amazing flavour. Adverse environmental factors decrease plant's cob yield and quality. A more effective production can be made by using resistant varieties adjusting the sowing plating periods. In this study, effect of direct seed cultivating seedlings in three different times (5, 15 25 May) on sweet corn's certain quality features have been investigated. research hybrid varieties; 2201, Challenger, Merit, Sunshine Yellow Baby were used. Ear weight, ear yield, length, diameter, sequence ear, kernel numbers sequence, dry TSS, chroma hue values identified study. The obtained from cultivation seedling found higher all parameters except for TSS. With progress period while TSS kernels increased (9.72 to 20.94) decreased. Husked weight changed between 184.69 224.11 g varieties. highest (3594.33 kg da-1) has Merit planting May.
