Investigation of characteristics and cultivation of sweet corn: A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Most sweet corn varieties are hybrids which have been bred for greater vigor and higher yields. Sweet corn varieties are available in yellow, white, or bicolored types, with varying maturity dates from early to mid- to late season . Maturity dates will vary from year to year and by location depending on weather (primarily temperature). On a farm with similar rotations, soil, and management ,sweet corn yield increased predictably in relation to N application rate. Eight sweet corn hybrids in 2007-2009and nine sweet corn hybrids in 2005-2008 with conventional sweet corn (SC403) were compared. Expriments were conducted in Iran. The result in 2005-2008 was showed that three way cross 401 had the highest kernel yield with 6.04t/ha.SC403 had 5.64t/ha kernel yield. The result in 2007-2009 showed that higher kernel yields were resulted from hybrids BASIN and POWER HOUSE with 7.66 and 7.31 t/ha respectively .these hybrids had higher yield than the check (SC403 ) with 6.11 t/ha.
