**Effect of Nitrogen and Intra Row Spaces on Sweet Corn (Zea mays saccharata Sturt) Ear Characteristics**

This study was conducted in south-eastern of Turkey during 1998 and 1999 with sweet corn as second crop to investigate the effects of different Nitrogen (N) application rates on some ear characteristics. In this study different nitrogen levels (150, 200, 250, 300 and 350 kg N ha^-1) and different Intra Row Spaces (IRS) (140 mm=102 040 plants ha^-1, 180 mm=79 370 plants ha^-1, 220 mm=64 930 plants ha^-1, 260 mm=54 940 plants ha^-1, 300 mm=47 620 plants ha^-1) were researched. Increasing nitrogen applications increased ear length, ear diameter, kernel number per ear and single fresh ear weight. At wider plant spacing, all yield characteristics were high.
