Effects of sweet corn and different types of indeterminate tomatoes intercropping on yield and quality

This study was carried out to determine effects of intercropping (sweet corn and intermediate tomato types) on yield and quality. Merit Fı sweet corn and Alsancak Fı, Merkur Fı, Çiko Fı tomato varieties were used in the experiment. Seeds were sown on April 20sht, 2017 and seedlings were planted on May 20th 2017. The experiment was designed with 3 replications in randomized plots. Sweet corn harvest was done between the end of July and at the beginning of August. Tomato harvest was completed between July and November. Yield (g/cob) and average cob weight (g) were investigated in sweet corn. Yield (kg/plant and kg/m2), average fruit weight (g), pH, soluble solids content (%) and total acidity were determined in tomato. The highest values were obtained both sweet corn (4.45 number/m2) and tomato at control (13.23 kg/m2). However, total profit was better in intercropping. Also, there was no stake expenses in intercropping.
