Utzinger}l William L. George Jr.}lGerald G. Myers,l and Alvin R. Mosley2The 1974 Sweet Corn Cultivar Trials at The Ohio State University HorticulturalFarm, 1000 West Lane Avenue, Columbus} consisted of twenty-eight cultivars whichwere replicated four times and fifty-two cultivars in non-replicated, single plots.Cultivars Seneca 60-11 and Earliking received moderate racoon damage with SenecaX~-192 being severely damaged' by racoon. These damaged cultivars were all in thenon-replicated plots.Corn was seeded on May 14, 1974 in 36" rows ~ith hills spaced 18 inches apart.Single row plots of 21 hills were 31.5' long. B~ocks·and tiers of plots wereseparated by a distance of six feet. Guard rows were planted to the east and westsides of rows running north- and south with guard hills ~cross the north and southends of the entire planting. In addition to the other guard rows, 4 rows of anearly maturing and a late maturing cultivar were planted on both the east and westsides of the entire Rlanting of.plots to enhanc~ pollination. All plots were plantedby hand jabber with 4 kernels per hill. Plants were thinned to 2 plants per hill atthe 2 to 3 leaf stage.Prior to plowing, 12-12-12 fertilizer was applied broadcast at the rate of1000 pounds per. acre. No additional fertilizer was applied during the season.Ramrod herbicide was applied, immediately after planting, ~t 5 pounds active ingredientper acre and watered in with sprinkler irrigation. No insecticides or fungicideswere applied after planting. Most lots of seed had been treated with a fungicideand/or an insecticide.1.

The highest yieldingcultivars in the replicated plots (Table 1) based on dozen of marketable earsharvested per acre were Capitan, Apache, Gold Cup and Bellringer. The firstcultivar being the highest produci?g and the last cultivar the lower produceralthough the differences in yield are not significante Capitan, Bellringerand Gold Cup were the highest yielding cultivars based on tons of unhuskedears of marketable corn. Gold Cup, Bellringer and Apache pro~uced the highestpercentage of marketable ears per acre. Commander had the heaviest husked earsin the replicated trials whereas Capitan had .the longest husked ear. Tri-Goldand Commander had husked ears with the greatest diameter.In terms of ear defects, smut was less of a problem in 1974 than during the1973 crop year and ear worm injury being ~imilar for both years.There were several cultivars or lines in the non-replicated plots (Table 2),that produced at the rate of over 2000 dozen ears per acre. Some of thesecultivars may be included in future replicated plots.This page intentionally blank.'.. '....
