Growing trouble
Gappy cobsCorn cobs with missing kernels
Cobs with missing or patchy kernels, because pollen didn’t reach every silk.
When it shows up: Late summer, at harvest
Does it match?Yes, what do I do?
What to do
Plant corn in a block, not a single row, so the pollen falls from plant to plant.
On still days, tap the tops of the stems to shake the pollen down.
Water well when the tassels appear.
