“…These nutrients triggered the vigorous growth of plants; there by achieving more LAI, this further enhanced the dry matter production. Similar response of growth parameters to applied nitrogen levels was reported by Abdullah Oktem et al (2010).…”

A field experiment was conducted during kharif seasons of 2011 and 2012 at Maize Research Centre, ARI, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad to study the influence of varying plant densities and nitrogen levels on growth parameters, yield attributes, yield and economics of first popcorn hybrid BPCH-6. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with factorial concept with three plant densities {P 1-1,11,111/ha (60 x 15 cm), P 2-1,11,111/ha (45 x 20 cm) and P 3-83,333/ha (60 x 20 cm)} and four nitrogen levels (N 1-80 kg/ha, N 2-120 kg/ha, N 3-160 kg/ha and N 4-200 kg/ha) and replicated thrice. Mean data over 2 years indicated that plant height and leaf area index were significantly higher with high plant density of 1, 11,111/ha whereas dry matter production (g/ plant) was significantly higher with 83,333/ha. Yield attributes like cob length, cob girth, number of rows per cob and number of seeds per row was significantly superior with low plant density of 83,333/ha. Hundred seed weight was not significantly influenced either by plant densities or nitrogen levels. On the contrary pooled data over 2 years revealed that cob, grain and fodder yields were significantly higher with a plant density of 1,11,111/ha. Gross returns, net returns and benefit-cost ratio were higher when a population of 1,11,111 plants/ha was maintained. Application of 200 kg nitrogen/ha had significantly higher growth parameters, yield attributes, yield and gross returns but it was on par with 160 kg N/ha and both were significantly superior over 120 and 80 kg N/ha whereas net returns and benefit-cost ratio were higher with 160 kg N/ha. Therefore, it is profitable to grow popcorn hybrid at a plant density of 1,11,111/ha (60 x 15 cm) with 160 kg N/ha in peri urban areas.

“…For DED, there was no statistical difference between the control and all other treatments; however, all of them presented values higher than 4 cm, while the minimum value for trade is 3 cm. Significant results were also found by Oktem et al (2010), when the authors evaluated the effects of different doses of N from 0 to 360 kg ha -1 applied at sowing and stage V 6 , showing higher values of CED and DED, with 21.8 and 5.15 cm, respectively.…”

“…The effect of nitrogen doses on the kernel protein ratio was investigated widely/extensively. In Şanlıurfa conditions the highest protein ratio (19.1%) was obtained by applying 36 kg N/da (Oktem et al 2010), in Brazil conditions (15.2%) by applying 18 kg N/da (Okumura et al, 2014). On the other hand, it was determined that the crude protein ratio in sweet corn decreased by the of high plant density (Bhatt, 2012), low and high irrigation levels (Ertek and Kara, 2013), early and late sowing (Burcu and Akgun, 2018).…”

Sweet corn is produced for human consumption and its grain quality primarily depends on the genotype. This study was carried out during the 2017 and 2018 seasons, in order to determine the suitable sweet corn varieties for Erzurum, Turkey. A randomized complete block design was used. Ear length (EL), ear diameter (ED), ear weight (EW), 1000-kernel weight (TKW), soluble solid content (SSC), crude protein content (CPC), and grain moisture content (GMC) of the 11 sweet corn varieties were investigated. Significant differences were determined among the varieties in terms of the investigated traits. The highest EL obtained from Khan F1 (19.8 cm), ED from Baron F1 (50.5 mm), EW from Baron F1 (323.5 g), TKW from Signet (358.8 g), SSC at harvest from Tanem F1 (20.3%), and CPC from BATEM Tatlı (16.5 %). At seven days post-harvest, the lowest reductions in grain moisture content were determined in Baron F1 both in the field and refrigerator conditions. The lowest losses in SSC both in the field and refrigerator conditions were determined in Khan F1. Based on the results of the two-year research in terms of all the quality traits, Tanem F1 variety can be the first choice for the production for fresh consumption in the Erzurum region.
