N2  - Two studies were conducted to determine the effect of  methods of planting and plant populations on the growth and yield  of sweet corn and baby corn on acid sulphate soil under rainfed  condition.  The results of the study revealed that there are no  significant differences on methods of planting in all growth and  yield parameters in both corn species.  The number of cobs/plant was not · influenced by plant  populations however number of harvested cobs increased with  populations. The yield of sweet corn was not significantly  affected by plant populations however unmarketable yield was  significantly highest in plants grown in 80,000 plants/ha. In  baby corn, increasing the population to 53,000 and 80,000  plants/ha significantly produced more yield than plants grown in  26, 667 plants/ha.  The plant populations significantly increased the stover  yield of baby corn and sweet corn plants.  The planting in rows with a population of 53,333 plants/ha  of sweet corn and a population of 80,000 plants/ha of baby corn  have potential of increasing yields and net returns to the farm.
