Abstract :This study was conducted to determine optimum lateral spacing for drip-irrigated sweet corn. For this purpose, three different drip irrigation systems were planned. Irrigation treatments consisted of two different plant row spacings insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(standart 0.70 m and one narrow one wide row spacing, 45-95-45 cm); and two different lateral spacings, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.70 m and 1.40 m);. Effects of different lateral spacing on sweet corn yield and quality parameters were investigated. In the calculation of irrigation water, the percentage of wetted area is taken as 75%. Different lateral designs had significant effects on yields. The maximum fresh cob yield and single cob weight was obtained from a lateral line for each plant row. The differences in cob yields of the other two treatments insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(the ones with a lateral line for two plant rows); were not found to be significant.
