Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at District Seed farm, Kalyani, Nadia, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, West Bengal, India during kharif season of 2017 to study the response of sweet corn genotypes to different planting density and nutrient levels. The experimental results showed that higher density planting (83,000 plant ha-1) recorded significantly highest plant height, green fodder yield, cob yield, net return and B: C ratio of crop. Among the different nutrient levels, higher nutrient level (200:60:80 kg NPK ha-1) was recorded significantly higher green fodder yield, cob yield and total soluble solids (%) content by crop as compared to other treatments. The genotype AKSH4 gave significantly higher green fodder yield, cob yield, plant height, net return, B: C ratio and total soluble solids (%) content than the check varieties. Therefore from the above results, it can be concluded that cultivation of sweet corn genotype AKSH4 with planting density of 83,000 plants ha -1 and nutrient level of 200:60:80 N, P and K kg ha-1 is a recommendable option for sweet corn.
