Field experiment evaluates flowering parameters and cob qualities in sweet corn with marigold intercropping.

Significantly higher cob length and girth were found in the 4:1 intercropping treatment, enhancing yield.
Maximum weight of cob was 501.58 g with 4:1 marigold and sweet corn, indicating a beneficial intercropping effect.
Days to tasselling and silking were not significantly impacted by intercropping systems, suggesting stability in flowering timing.
Sole sweet corn produced lower cob weights at 461.08 g, highlighting the advantages of intercropping for higher yields.

Savaratkar et al. (2025) studied this question.
