Abstract: The effects of five sowing dates on growth and main agronomic traits of four waxy corn varieties were studied, and the differences in phonological phase, growth status, ear shape, plant traits, yield and quality among different sowing dates were also comparatively analyzed. The results indicate that for each summer waxy corn variety in Tianjin, the most suitable sowing date was early July, under which the highest fresh ear yield and relatively better appearance quality and cooking quality could be obtained.

Key words: waxy corn, sowing date, yield, agronomic traits, quality
