This study was conducted with an area of 540
square meters excluding canals and was divided into
twenty plots. Each plot was measured 3m x 9m. The
experimental area was laid out following Randomized
Complete Block Design (RCBD). The study aimed to
determine the effect of different row spacings and
schedule of urea application in medium level on the
yield of sweet corn. Results of the analysis showed that
the average length and average circumference of corn
ears in centimeter per plot per treatment both showed
no significant difference as affected by different row
spacings and schedule of application of urea. Results of
the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) on the average
weight and total weight of corn ears in kg per plot per
treatment showed that there was significant difference
on the yield of sweet corn using row spacings. However,
no significant difference on the schedule of application
of urea. Thus, R2 is recommended in terms of longest
husk, biggest circumference of husk, and heavier husk
of corn ears. On the other hand, R1 is recommended to
obtain more husk of corn ears and R5 is recommended
to obtain heavier husk of corn ears.
