Abstract
In our trial we compared the effect of propagation time and floating cover on the growing season on yield and some valuable properties of sweet corn. The following technological variations were compared with the help of the variety Spirit (normal sweet, very early ripening): 1. direct seeded plants with floating cover (with 2 sowing dates); 2. direct seeded plants without cover (with 2 sowing dates). The application of direct seeding and floating covering (P2) early propagation time, increased the earliness by 7 days in respect of the total growing period as compared to the treatment without cover (P1). The covering and earlier sowing time had a negative influence on cob size, but this diminishment did not influence cobs marketability, whereas in case of depth of seeds we observed an positive effect. Covering the seedlings in the early season was clearly beneficial for frost protection, as the floating cover provided protection for plants against mild frost. The combination of earlier seeding time and floating cover results 14 day earlier harvest as compared to the traditional technology (P3).
