A field experiment was conducted using three corn cultivars (Jingyu7, Nongda80, and Tangyu10) and three nitrogen (N) application rates (0, 75, and 150 kg N ha(-1)). The objectives of this study were to investigate the responses of photosynthetic CO2 assimilation (Ph), the maximum quantum yield of photosystem II (F-v/F-m), leaf dry weight (LDW), leaf nitrogen concentration (LNC), leaf sugar concentration (LSC), and the sugar-to-nitrogen concentration ratio (S/N) to N levels in three different field-grown corn cultivars on three sampling dates. The results showed that the LDW, F-v/F-m, Ph, LNC, and LSC increased with increasing N levels, and the variation patterns of F-v/F-m, Ph, and LNC were low-high-low''. In contrast, S/N decreased with increasing N levels, and its variation pattern was high-low-high''. The values of LDW, F-v/F-m, Ph, LNC, LSC, and S/N were greatest under high N conditions, followed by medium N conditions, and finally low N conditions. Significant interactions occurred between Ph, F-v/F-m, LNC, LSC, LDW, and S/N, with the exception of the interaction between LSC and S/N and between LSC and LDW. The correlation coefficients between Ph and S/N and between F-v/F-m and S/N were -0.714 and -0.798, respectively.
