Abstract:

This research was conducted in the 2009 and 2010 years in the Ziraat Faculty of Research and Application of Eskişehir Osmangazi University, with the aim of determining the plant, coaching and productivity characteristics of some varieties of sugar pepper (Zea mays L. saccharata Sturt). As material in the study, a total of 7 sugar eggs genotypes were used, including 2201 lines, with commercial varieties of Lumina, Merit, Sunshine, Jubileum, Challenger and Yellow Baby.
