Sweet Corn Population Effects On Yield And Ear Quality, 2007, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Sweet Corn Population Effects On Yield And Ear Quality, 2007, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
"Current recommendations for fresh market sweet corn suggest row spacing of 30 to 40 inches and in-row spacing of 8 to 10 inches for early varieties and 9 to 12 inches for late varieties. This corresponds to populations from 13,068 to 26,136 plants per acre. Variety trials at Pinney-Purdue Agricultural Center have been planted at row spacings of 30 or 36 inches and populations of 20,328 plants per acre. Some cultivars may perform well at higher populations. This trial was conducted to evaluate yield and ear characteristics of two cultivars at populations up to 50% higher than normally used in …

Plant Spacing Demonstration Plot With Jack-O-Lantern And Giant Pumpkins, Elizabeth Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
Plant spacing is known to influence the size of pumpkins. To demonstrate this influence two jack-o-lantern cultivars and two giant pumpkin cultivars were grown at narrow and wide in-row spacings at Coulter's Farm in Westville, Indiana.
