Abstract

The research examines the influence of year, sowing date, sweet corn genotype (Zea mays L. saccharata Sturt.), and irrigation norm on productive traits and sugar content in sweet corn kernels. The experiment was set up in a completely randomized block design with four replications. In both years, sowing was done in two periods: end of April - beginning of May and mid-July. Three hybrids (Enterprise, Union, and Sweet Nugget) were observed under three irrigation treatments: full norm (100%), reduced norm (50%) and natural wetting (control). Combined analysis of variance (pooled ANOVA) showed a statistically significant effect on all examined yield and sugar content parameters, as well as their higher-order interactions. Hybrid Enterprise stood out as the most productive, with the highest values of ear weight, kernel weight (up to 272.13 g) and kernel yield (up to 16.25 t ha-1 in the first year and up to 13.66 t ha-1 in the second year), especially in the second sowing date with full or reduced irrigation norm, with a shelling percentage over 70%. The highest content of total sugars (39.71% in the first year and 40.39% in the second year) was achieved in the Sweet Nugget hybrid in the first sowing date under natural moisture conditions, where a slight water deficit stimulates sugar concentration. The obtained results highlight the advantages of the Enterprise hybrid for high yield under irrigation conditions and the Sweet Nugget hybrid for kernel quality (sweetness), and underscore the importance of factor interactions.

Aim & Scope

ABOUT THE JOURNAL
AIMS AND SCOPE

Turkish Journal of Field Crops is the official publication of Society of Field Crops Science. It offers the latest developments in research to scientists active in field crops. The Journal includes only the original research papers on the following topics:

Breeding and Genetics
Agronomy
Physiology
Forage Crops
Medicinal and Aromatical Plants
Biotechnology
Utilization
High-Throughput Phenotyping / Smart Agriculture

Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Field Crops must be based on well-defined experimental research conducted in accordance with appropriate experimental designs with adequate replication. Studies should be carried out under controlled field and/or greenhouse conditions, where treatments, experimental factors, and management practices are clearly described and allow for valid statistical analysis.
The journal does not consider for evaluation manuscripts that rely solely on:
samples collected from natural populations or habitats, or
materials obtained from farmers’ fields or commercial production areas,
when such studies lack a planned experimental design and replication. Accordingly, papers that primarily present and discuss analytical results derived from these types of samples, without controlled experimental implementation, fall outside the scope of the journal.

The Turkish Journal of Field Crops prioritizes research that ensures reproducibility, statistical rigor, and clear interpretation of treatment effects under experimentally controlled agronomic conditions.

INDEXING AND ABSTRACTING
Turkish Journal of Field Crops is indexed and abstracted in: Science Citation Index (SciSearch), WOS Core Collection (Clarivate), Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition.
