Abstract: In our trial we tried to find out how the time of propagation and transplanting influenced the growing season of sweet corn along with some major properties relevant to quality. The following technological variations were compared: transplanted plants with floating row cover (with 2 planting dates); transplanted plants with no row cover; direct seeded plants with no row cover. The transplant growing period reduced the growing period by 16 to 28 days, compared to the technology used in the existing practice of production. Earliness had a negative influence on ear weight, nonetheless it is worth while to attempt since the market is not so exacting with new products in the early period. In our trial the effect of earliness had a favourable influence in case of reducing- and total sugar content accumulation of seeds.
