Sweet corn (Zea mays saccharate Stuart) is the most popular plant in Indonesia at
the moment because it tastes sweet and can be processed into various kinds of food, from corn,
grilled, corn on the cob, corn fritters, corn cakes and also as a mixture of salads and
preparations. other vegetables. However, the ever-increasing demand for sweet corn has not
been matched by an ever-increasing yield. The purpose of this study was to determine the
optimum plant spacing and the best type of mulch for the growth and yield of sweet corn. The
research was conducted in the experimental field of the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas
Islam Sumatera Utara, Gedung Johor, Medan (3°31'23" N 98°39'51" E) with a flat topography
and an altitude of ± 25 masl. The study was designed using a two-factor randomized block
design. The first factor is the spacing (S), namely 25 cm x 50 cm (S1), 25 cm x 75 cm (S2), and
25 cm x 100 cm (S3). The second factor was the type of weeds used as organic mulch (M),
namely A. gangetica (M1), N. biserrata (M2), and P. conjugatum (M3). The dose of mulch used
was 5 tons/ha and all treatments were repeated three times. The results showed that the
optimum spacing for the best growth of sweet corn was 25 cm x 75 cm and 25 cm x 100 cm and
the best organic mulch for the growth and yield of sweet corn was P. conjugatum and A.
gangetica
