Variety traits
Zea mays L. subsp. mays (Sweet Corn Group)
The ear is a key object in the morphological description of sweet corn, the parameters of which determine the marketability, productivity, and suitability of the variety for mechanical harvesting.
In the reference 372 varieties crop Sweet corn, where this is mentioned in the description.
When evaluating sweet corn in DUS tests, quantitative and qualitative indicators are used, such as ear length and the length of the grain-filled part, diameter, number of grain rows, as well as the intensity of anthocyanin coloration of silks and glumes. These parameters are assessed according to standardized UPOV scales from 1 to 9 to ensure the unification of variety descriptions.
The ear placement height and the strength of its shank are critical factors for mechanical harvesting, determining the feasibility of using specialized harvesters. At the milk or milk-wax ripeness stage, the fullness of grain set on the ear acts as the main indicator of product marketability, and the genetic characteristics of modern hybrids allow for the retention of grain sugar content throughout the optimal harvest period.
