Abstract
The present research carried out at AL Salamieh city, Hama Governorate, during the season 2015, aiming to evaluate the morphological traits of three genotypes of sweet corn i.e Faihaa1, Randevo and Snekofa Karaliva under the effect of different sowing dates; 1st and 15th April, in order to determine the best variety and the most suitable sowing date in spring season. The results showed that the morphological traits of Faihaa1 genotype was higher than those of Randevo and Snekofa Karaliva in the first sowing date (1st April), and the increase of ear length recorded (1.78-1.48 cm), and height of plant recorded in Faihaa1 and Randevo and Snekofa Karaliva were (130.95, 71.11 and 68.33 cm) respectively. Also, the results showed that there was a significant increase in kernel diameter, leaf area, and stem diameter in Faihaa1, comparing to Randevo and Snekofa Karaliva, while the highest ear length and kernel diameter were at the beginning of April for all genotypes.
Key words: Sweet corn, Genotypes, Sowing dates.
