INFLUENCE OF PLANTING DATE ON CORN GROWN IN AN AQUIC EUTROPEPT
1987
Cabia, Emmanuel M. | Paningbatan, Eduardo P.
Date of planting significantly influenced growth and development of corn. Corn first planted on the last week of April and those planted 3 and 5 weeks later (May 16 and May 29) exhibited superior growth and ear yields over those planted 7 and 9 weeks later (June 12 and June 27). Relative to the highest total ear yield obtained (3.65 tons/ha), the mean reduction in ear yield of plants in the latter treatments was 60.55% representing a three-fifth decrease in this parameter. This was due to the very wet conditions during the early growth stages which affected crop establishment and consequently, yield performance.
