The main time for high yield

When the tassel appears on the head of the corn plant and a silk-like cluster or silk comes out from the side of the stem, it is called the silking stage. These silks are actually female flowers, which receive pollen coming from the wind and complete fertilization. Each silk or silk is associated with a grain. If for some reason the silk dries out or pollination is disrupted, the grains in the cob remain empty. If the plant endures any kind of stress (such as drought or lack of nutrients) during this time, the yield can be greatly reduced.
