Experimental single cross supersweet and glutinous corn hybrids were evaluated in preliminary yield trials conducted in College, Laguna [Philippines]. Supersweet corn inbreds were derived from Hawaiian supersweets which are based on brittle gene, while the glutinous (waxy) corn inbreds were derived from local populations such as Lagkitan, Macapuno, and Naguillan. At least two supersweet corn hybrids, SSH1, SSH3, outyielded the open-pollinated check (Phil supersweet No. 1) with a yield of 10.6 and 10.0 tons of marketable ears, respectively. Kernal tenderness was also found to be excellent for these hybrids. Promising glutinous corn hybrids were also identified based on agronomic traits, yield and eating quality traits. At least three hybrids yield more than 10 tons/ha of marketable ears. Several hybrids exhibited excellent eating qualities in terms of tenderness and aroma.
