DOI : 10.21566/tarbitderg.280206 - This study was conducted to investigate the effect of six different sowing densities (50x15, 50x20, 50x25, 70x10, 70x15, 70x20 cm) and five different nitrogen doses (N5, N10, N15, N20, N25 kg/da) sowing densities and nitrogen doses agrıcultural proporties of sweet corn onder Middle Blacksea ecological conditions. The experiment was conducted in 4 replicates according to a split-plot design. The difference between sowing densities and nitrogen doses plant height, ear height and gren yield significant. According to the results, when sowing densities an d nitrogen doses the highest plant height, ear height and green yield was obtained 70x10 (14 bitki/m2) sowind densitie and dose of nitrogen N25. Keywords : Sweet corn, sowing density, nitrogen dose, plant height,ear height and gren yield
