Title
Effect of sowing time on sweet corn yield and quality

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Harvestable ear yield of sweet corn declined by 1.6 t/ha per 10-day delay in sowing, mainly through reduced mass of harvestable secondary ears.
- Intervention effect Sowing time had a minor effect on primary cob characters of sweet corn (length, kernel fill and diameter).
- Intervention effect Sowing time had no consistent effect on kernel colour of sweet corn.
- Observation Kernel colour of sweet corn differed significantly among hybrids.
- Intervention effect Kernel toughness of sweet corn was the only yield or quality component to benefit from delayed sowing, with kernels more tender in later-sown crops.
- Association The effect of genotype on kernel toughness of sweet corn was at least as great as the effect of sowing time.
- Recommendation The authors suggest quality targets in sweet corn are more profitably met by careful hybrid choice than by choice of sowing time.
