Effect of Manure on Yield and Quality of hybrid Sweet Corn in Soil Series 41
Main Article Content
Abstract
This experiment aimed to study the growth and yield of three sweet corn hybrid varieties: Test variety 1, Test variety 2, and Test variety 3, Collect data at 20 and 65 days after planting. The experimental design used a split-plot in a randomized complete block design (RCBD), with three hybrid varieties (F1 hybrids). The experiment involved four treatments: (T1) Pelletized organic fertilizer (control), (T2) Chicken manure, (T3) Pig manure, and (T4) Cow manure, all applied at a rate of 50 grams per plant. Growth parameters such as plant height, leaf length, fresh ear weight, ear circumference, ear length, and ear sweetness were evaluated. The results showed that Test variety 1 exhibited the highest growth, with the tallest plants and the heaviest fresh ear weight per plant at 65 days after planting, measuring 174.44 cm and 358.33 grams per plant, respectively. Test variety 3 had the longest leaf length at both 20 and 65 days after planting, with lengths of 16.38 cm and 78.44 cm, respectively. Furthermore, the use of fertilizer at a rate of 50 grams per plant significantly affected both the quality and quantity of the yield. Pig manure had the best effect on the growth and fresh ear weight of all varieties. As for ear sweetness, the pelletized organic fertilizer produced the highest sweetness in Test variety 1.
