Field trial shows optimal cob yield in sweet corn when sown in June in North East India, suggesting better farming practices.

This research aims to evaluate the best sowing dates and nutrient applications for sweet corn in Meghalaya.
Conducted a field trial over two years (2021-22 and 2022-23)
Used a split plot experimental design with three sowing dates and four nutrient levels
Replicated the experiment three times.
The best cob yield of 4.8 t ha-1 was achieved when sown in the third week of June.
No significant differences in growth parameters among nutrient treatments, but yield was significantly higher than control plots.
The benefit cost ratio was 2.38 for June sowing and 1.95 for inorganic treatments.

Dorenchand Singh Thokchom (2024) studied this question.
