Abstract

ABSTRACT

The legowo row planting system on sweet corn growth aims to determine which legowo
row cropping system is appropriate for sweet corn plants and is able to have an influence on
the growth of sweet corn plants. Implemented at the UNSRAT Experimental Garden in
Tomohon, using a randomized block design method. This research was conducted with three
treatments, namely: legowo row 2: 1, legowo row 3: 1, and conventional. With the spacing for
legowo row 50 x 25 cm and conventional 70 x 25 cm. Observation variables include plant
height and number of leaves which data are taken each week. The results of this study were the
use of legowo row 2: 1 and legowo row 3: 1 planting systems with a spacing of 50 cm x 25 cm
and a conventional planting system with a spacing of 70 cm x 25 cm on sweet corn in Tomohon
had no effect on vegetative growth.
Keywords: legowo row, sweet corn, vegetative growth.
