This study was conducted in Turkey in Samsun conditions to determine some morphological and agronomic traits of different corn varieties planted at different sowing times. In our study, three different hybrid corn varieties (Otello, Golden Frank and Goldenver) and five different sowing times (May 13, June 3, June 21, July 9, July 29) were tested. The trial was established with 3 replications according to Randomized Complete Block Design. In the trial, 9 morphological and agronomic traits (plant height, stem diameter, leaf number, stem weight, root weight, leaf weight, cob length, cob diameter, row number) were examined. Repeated measurement analysis was conducted for plant height, stem diameter, leaf number, stem height, root weight, and leaf weight variables. Factor analysis was used for cob length, cob diameter, and row number variables for completely randomized design. Canonical Discriminant analysis was performed for classification of diversity factor. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to determine the correlation between variables. In the study, the highest plant height was determined as 192.16 cm, the highest leaf number as 10.22, the highest stem weight as 51.58 g, the highest root weight as 33.52 g, the highest leaf weight as 30.35 g, the highest cob length as 20.39 cm, and the highest row number in the cob as 23.25. As a result of the study, the best results were obtained from the first and second varieties with the sowing time of May 13. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
