Response of sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata L.) to plant spacing and granular organic fertilizer (GOF)

Abstract Demand for sweet corn occurs drastically, especially in big cities. One of the limiting factors growth plants is size plant population and nutrient status soil. Based on this, it necessary to increase yield corn, among others, by setting right spacing applying organic granular fertilizer at dose as a source nutrients. The study was conducted Mandai, Maros, South Sulawesi using randomized block design factorial. Plant first factor (J1=70x20 cm; J2=70x30 J3=70x40 cm). level application second (G1= 1 t ha-1; G2=2 ha −1 ; G3=3 ). use fertilizers had no significant effect height, number leaves, leaf area, cob diameter, or rows per cob, but effect. parameters length, weight without husk, 100 grains, seeds row, potential corn. In general, best obtained 70 x 20 cm with (GOF) 3 ha-1, namely 12.81 .
