1 At 66 days after sowing (DAS), all of the sweet maize cultivars were at the pre-ripening stage. The sweet maize cultivars were harvested at 78 DAS. 2 At 84 DAS; all of the fodder cultivars, except Hatai and Kaleri, reached the ripening stage. 3 Colors represent the degree of the cultivars susceptibility to late wilt disease, described in Table 2.
