Characterization of Sweet Corn Production in Subtropical Environmental Conditions

Weather variability in subtropical environmental conditions of the southeastern U.S. impact sweet corn production region, which is one most important country. Understanding performance under these to help growers with decision making. Thus, objectives this study were evaluate and characterize ten commercial cultivars exposed several describe impacts weather on cultivar development, yield, ear quality. Field experiments conducted five locations during spring fall 2020 2021. data, biomass accumulation, quality measured for all within seasons locations. Heavy rainfall events created waterlogging development; however, it was daily air temperature that mostly impacted yield Daily temperatures extended growing season but reduced crop development fall. Consequently, accumulation generally higher (4243 kg ha−1) compared (1987 ha−1). Biomass translated into thereby Cultivars great potential against stresses best Affection, GSS1170, Passion, SCI336 spring, SC1136 Ultimately, strongly correlated dimensions poorly number grains a kernel, suggesting breeding programs trying increase should be focused diameter length.
