Abstract
''Carmelcross'' sweet corn (Zea mays) was studied. Application of succinic acid, simazine and GA did not produce any beneficial effects. High seed moisture, pregermination and P application improved seedling growth. There was a trend towards higher kernel yields with high-moisture seed and high-temperature pregermination.
