The effects of planting date on mineral element
concentration in sweet corn (Zea mays L. cv. Jubilee) at six
developmental stages and on yield were investigated.
Planting dates were chosen to correspond to early,
mid-season, and late commercial plantings. Two nitrogen
rates were applied since nitrogen is more often limiting...
The response of sweet corn Zea mays L. var. rugosa (cultivar
'Jubilee') to row spacing, nitrogen and population density at two
planting dates was studied in a field experiment at the OSU
Vegetable Research Farm in 1984. Variables included two row
spacings, 75 cm and 90 cm, three nitrogen rates,...
'Jubilee' sweet corn was grown under conventional tillage and
strip tillage in 1982 and under conventional tillage, strip tillage
and no-till culture in 1983. Effects on soil temperature,
stand establishment, plant development parameters, overall yield,
yield components, and water use efficiency were measured.
In 1982, conventional tillage appeared to have...
Three varieties of sweet corn (Zea mays L.) , including
two supersweet (Crisp 'N Sweet 710 and Rogers 3376) and one
normal sweet (Jubilee), were harvested at six stages of
maturity (80-72% moisture for supersweet and 75-68% moisture
for normal sweet) at three days intervals. Changes in
physical and chemical...
Laboratory incubation studies and field studies with sweet corn
and onions were undertaken to evaluate interactions of lime,
phosphorus (P), and copper (Cu). Eight soils were incubated at a
constant temperature of 21 °C with combinations of band placed
monocalcium phosphate (MCP), ammonium sulfate (AmS), and copper
sulfate pentahydrate (CSPH)...
Oregon sweet corn growers face high fertilizer, fuel
and weed control costs; soil compaction, erosion, organic
matter and nutrient depletion; and difficult equipment
operations in muddy fields. An alternative production
system might ease some of these problems.
Testing was begun to evaluate a living-mulch
cropping system for sweet corn (Zea...
Soil-related problems common to Oregon farmers are
erosion, compaction, organic matter depletion, and
nutrient loss. High costs of fertilizer, fuel, and weed
control are additional management problems. Growing a
secondary crop as a living mulch with a primary crop may
ease some of these problems.
Sweet corn production in Oregon...
