Abstract

A productive evaluation of five sweet corn hybrids (commercial [30F35, P4039, P4226 and DAS3383] and experimental [X-40F440]) was carried out in Villa Darién, Darién, Panama. The research was carried out experimentally from October to December of the 2016 - 2017 agricultural cycle. The agronomic and productive variables: percentage of inflorescence, male and female, to 75% of flowering, number and height of plants, number, height (cm), length (cm) and diameter (cm) of cob harvested per treatment / hectare were evaluated. The activities was projected on one hectare and the same technological package was established for the five hybrids. The research was developed using a completely randomized block design, with four (4) blocks, five (5) treatments and four (4) repetitions. The results showed that the hybrids X-40F440, P4226 and 30F35 maintained a similar average of cobs produced and higher biomass production than the DAS3383 and P4039 at the time of the evaluation, which allows to conclude that its use will be of benefit in animal feed among producers from Villa Darien, Darien.
