A super sweet corn Hybrids experiment was carried out utilizing a completely randomized design in La Costa de Hermosillo, Mexico 14 km west far away Hermosillo city during 2007 autumn season. Eight super sweet corn F1 Hybrids were tested on a grower commercial field. The plots were established under a drip irrigation system considering 1.8 m apart between each drip irrigation line and 50 cm between row plants, sowing 8 corn seeds per lineal meter (approximately a population of 90,000 plants per ha). The evaluated super sweet corn F1 Hybrids were: Jubilee Plus, GSS-5865, GSS-5771, GSS-5362, GSS-3381, WSS-1921, GH-2547, and WSS 3681. According to results recorded in this field super sweet corn F1 Hybrids essay, most Hybrids reached high yield and quality for international market. All Hybrids were harvested 65 days after sowing. The super sweet corn Hyd. GSS-5362 recorded the longest ear sized 18” (45 cm). Highest sugar levels were recorded up to 19.9 ºbrigs in GH-2547, and 16 ºbrigs were recorded in Jubilee Plus, GSS-5865, and GSS-5362 super sweet F1 Hybrids. Remaining super sweet corn Hybrids reached a range of sugar from 13.8 to 15.3 ºbrigs. About yielding, the outstanding super sweet corn Hybrids were GSS-5362 and GSS-5865 recording 1,376 and 1,222 ear boxes per hectare respectively. When packing ears, cartoon boxes of four dozens ears capacity were used.
