Effect of different lateral spacings on yield and quality attributes of drip-irrigated sweet corn

Abstract


This study was conducted under Konya conditions to determine optimum lateral spacing for drip-irrigated sweet corn. For this purpose, three different drip irrigation systems were planned. Irrigation treatments consisted of two different lateral spacings (0.70 m and 1.40 m) and two different plant row spacings (standart 0.70 m and one narrow one wide row spacing, 45-95-45 cm). Effects of different drip irrigation systems on sweet corn yield and quality attributes were investigated. In the calculation of irrigation water, the percentage of wetted area is taken as 75%.Different lateral arrangements had significant effects on yields. The greatest fresh cob yield and single cob weight was obtained from the drip irrigation system with a lateral line for each plant row. The differences in cob yields of the other two treatments (the ones with a lateral line for two plant rows) were not found to be significant.
