Varietal and density effects on vegetable corn and forage production

K. C. Mooi

Abstract

An experiment on the effects of plant density on the production of vegetable corn from Suwan1 , Manis Madu and Thai Supersweet varietie showed that the density of 159 999 plants/ha could yield 247 553 cobs,ha, equivalent to 1.55 cobs/plant. Variery Suwan 1 is superior to the two sweet corn varieties. At 159 999 plants/ha, it has the potential to yield 8.47 t of vegetable corn cobs or 1.71 t of the processed vegetable corn, 7.23 t of husk and silk, 2.27 t of tassels and 30.80 t of green stover per hectare.
