Yield trial of 6 baby corn varieties, PSUSB 104, PSUSB 109, PSUSB 111, PSU-Syn 1, Pacific 444 and Chiang Mai 90 (check) was done in Phatthalung, Songkhla and Nakhon Si Thammarat Provinces during 2000 - 2001. The experimental design in each environment was a randomized complete block with four replications. The results showed that the hybrid PSUSB 111 gaved the highest young ear weight of standard size (138 kg/rai), exceeding the mean yield of hybrid Pacific 444 by 27%, PSU-Syn 1 by 47% and openpollinated Chiang Mai 90 by 79%. The hybrid PSUSB 111 also showed other merits, such as more ears/plant, shorter days to first ear harvest, lower first ear height, less plant height and high plant fresh weight.
