The study was conducted to analyze the growth characteristics comparison per planting density on the waxy corn early-planting culture for the paddy field in the southern province of south Korea. The cultivation period of early-planting culture for the paddy farming of the waxy corn are sown on February 15, 2016years, transplanting March 15 and harvest June 20. And it grew 126 days. The weather change according to the cultivation period of unheated plastic house early-planting culture, it was average temperature $14.6^{\circ}C$ and humidity 62.5%. And the temperature was 5.6 degrees Celsius warmer compared with the outside temperature and the humidity was 0.7 percent higher tendency. At the growth per planting density of waxy corn, culm length was average 224cm, the more it is high density culture the more was high trend. Stem diameter and ear length the more it is high density culture the more was lowed trend. The node number of $60{\times}20Cm$ was 12 nodes, fruit seting 5.7 nodes, tasseling number 94 days and silking number 96 days. In the ear characteristics per planting density, the size of ear length, seed setting length, ear width and ear weight the more planting density is high the more lowed that trend. The commodity percentage of planting density $60{\times}35Cm$ was the highest among other treatment as 69.1%. But, marketable yield was the highest planting density of $60{\times}20Cm$ as 4,543 ears/10a, and appeared in order $60{\times}25Cm$ 95%> $60{\times}30Cm$ 93%> $60{\times}35Cm$ 92%. The planting density on the waxy corn early-planting culture for the paddy farming in the southern province, the planting density analyzed to be effective planting of over 25% than normal season culture.

A sweet corn hybrid, Honey Bantam, was planted on 24 May, 1984 in a silty clay loam soil to investigate the effects of polyethylene(P.E.) mulch and different levels and placements of Nitrogen(N) on soil properties and sweet corn growth. A split-split plot design with three replications was employed; P.E. mulch and bare soil were main plot, N levele of 8, 12, 16, and 20 kg/10a were subplot, and band and broadcast of fertilizers were sub-subplots. At early growth stage soil temperature under P.E. mulch was higher than that in bare soil by 5-10$^{\circ}C$, but the differences decreased as plant growth advanced. Soil hardness increased with soil depth while P.E. mulch reduced soil hardness probably by holding high soil moisture. Soil pH decreased up to the 6th week after planting and then increased in bare soil, but it contineously decreased up to the 8th weeks under P.E. mulch regardless N levels and placements. Electrical conductivity(EC) of soil increased up to the 6th weeks after planting and then decreased in all treatments except broadcast of fertilizers under P.E. mulch where EC increased contineously. Generally, soil EC under P.E. mulch was higher than that in broadcast. Broadcast of fertilizers did not affect emergence of seedlings in all N levels under P.E. mulch and bare soil, but band of fertilizers at all N levels under P.E. mulch and higher levels of N in bare soil reduced emergence rate significantly. Percent stand was possitively correlated with soil EC and it strongly influenced the number of marketable ears. Plant growth was enhanced and silking date was earlier by 14-19 days under P.E. mulch compared to bare soil probably due to increased soil moisture, reduced soil hardness and higher soil temperature.

Comprehensive studies on seedling production and transplanting cultivation of waxy corn are necessary to fulfill the comsumer's preference for the high quality whole ear waxy corn and its year-round supply for higher price, and to escape marketing in a short period at harvest season. Two waxy corn hybrids (cv. Chalok# 1 and Chalok# 4) were used to study the effects of seeding date, nursery days and plug cell size on growth and yield of waxy corn, and to clarify the reliable transplanting date at the Experimental Field of the National Institute of Crop Science in 2007. The number of days from seeding to silking was increased as nursery days were extended, but the number of days from transplanting to silking was shortened comparing to the direct seeding. Number of days from seeding to silking was shorter by 9~12 days for Chalok# 1 than for Chalok# 4, while the number of days from seeding to silking was shorter by 12~15 days in the second cropping than in the first cropping. Culm length of transplanted waxy corns was decreased as the nursery days were extended. Culm length of seeded Chaok# 1 and Chaok# 4 were decreased by 17% and 24%, respectively, in the second cropping compared to those in the first cropping. Ear length was somewhat decreased as the nursery days were extended. Chalok# 1 in the second cropping the degree of decrease was much higher in second cropping than in first cropping of Chalok# 1. Comparing to the first cropping, number of marketable ears per 10a of Chalok# 1 decreased as high as 64%, while that of seeded Chalok# 4 decreased mere 12% in the second cropping.
