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 inheritance of ten characteristics of sweet corn was studied
by quantitative genetic analysis. Characters studied were tassel
date, silk date, plant height, ear height, shank length, husk extension,
tip blanking, number of kernel rows, ear length, and weight of the
first ear.
Diallel crosses were made between seven inbred...
Studies were conducted in 1976 and 1977 on the effects of harvest
dates on maturity, yields and sugar content of four cultivars of
sweet corn. The cultivars were 'Golden Cross Bantam', 'Jubilee',
'Rapidpak' and 'Tendertreat'. Moisture content of kernels ranged from
80 to 67 per cent for the six harvest...
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...
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...
The antidote (1, 8 naphthalic anhydride) is recommended for
corn protection against EPTC injury where the antidote is applied at
a half percent by weight of corn seeds before planting.
Studies were
conducted to determine the factors affecting the action of antidote in
corn (Zea mays L. var. NB 501D)...
