Abstract: The research was implemented to select the high-yield, high-quality, disease-resistant varieties of sweet corn and provide a scientific basis for selecting new varieties of sweet corn according to local conditions, in order to adjust the agricultural structure and promote the development of the corn industry of Fujian Province. Based on the 11 newly approved varieties, like ‘Rong tian 2’, ‘Huang tian 168’ and ‘Yue tian 16’, a comparison experiment was carried out in Fujian Province. The yield, adaptability, stress resistance, agronomic traits, economic traits and species observation records of those testing varieties were analyzed. The main results are as follows. Comparing with the control, the yield of four species ‘Rong tian 2’, ‘Huang tian 168’, ‘Rong tian 1’ and ‘Huangjin tian 1’, respectively, significantly increased by 24.3%, 18.8%, 15.7% and 12.3%. With grain quality, good taste and slight disease of rust and leaf blight, the four species are suitable for popularization and application in Fujian Province; Other six varieties, like ‘Shi zhen’, ’‘Jin gui 3’, ‘Yue tian 22’ and ‘Min tian 4’, are not suitable for promoting the cultivation in Fujian Province due to low yield or susceptibility to disease.
