Six processing type sweet corn cultivars were evaluated for productivity and production problems at eight planting dates at the Plateau Experiment Station at Crossville, TN. Plant size and yields declined rapidly after the fourth planting date. During this period soil moisture was adequate and temperatures were relatively cool, therefore, plant growth responses may have been attributed to day length or light interception. Insect populations and insect damage increased as the harvest season progressed. `Reveille' had poor ear fill throughout the season, while percentage ear fill of all of the other cultivars, with the exception of `More', decreased rapidly after the fourth planting date. `More' plants were the most vigorous throughout the trial. `More' was one of the most productive cultivars throughout the season and especially at the later planting dates.
