Great info. we are growing 1 row of corn in a raised bed, just for fun and this will for sure help.
I hope so!
I didn’t know it was the silk that needed pollinating so I have been pollinating the tassels together
Now I might have some corn this year😀
The whole time growing up we and everybody we knew planted two rows of sweetcorn. Most of the time those rows were east-west, but my uncle had his garden north-south. We never had any issues with ears filling out.
Good to know
I always like to hear real-life experiences... thanks!
Nice, dark green plants. In the evening I've been walking through my five rows giving everything a good shake. Clouds of golden pollen rain down. Just to be sure, I'll follow your example with the makeup brush. Same stage of growth here near Noonday.
Very nice... neighbor :)
That's some very healthy looking corn. I wish I could get mine that green.
Corn is a heavy feeder.
Lots of nitrogen ... and water :)
Thanks, growing corn for the first time. Can use all the advice I can get.
Glad to help
Corn is a heavy feeder.
Make sure its getting enough fertilizer.
I planted three rows of corn and also decided to hand pollinate. I cut off a piece of the tassle and rubbed it straight onto the silk. Just another idea to achieve the same goal.
Interesting... thanks
That's exactly what I do! It works great!
If Matthew McConaughey was a farmer, this is what he’d sound like 😅
Ha ha ha… I get that about once a month 😊
Bob Ross would be proud...
Yes he WOULD !! :)
I will do this. Thanks.
Let me know how it turns out.
I'll be doing a follow up in a few weeks.
Great video!
Flooding sucks.
And I have had to ha d pollinate corn before.
Thanks for sharing how you do it & why.
👍😎
Thank you so much for demonstrating the two techniques. I'm in Virginia zone 7a. This is my first time ever growing corn so I only have to about 10-15 stalks. I will try your second technique. Happy Gardening! 🌱 🌽
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. A lot of my corn didn't come up either. I appreciate the information, because I would like the little corn I have to make some good ears. I think I am going to use mine for seed. I planted heirlooms.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you
You're welcome... Thanks for watching!
Who knew..i am growing a small patch.of about 90 and dont really.need to.cover them to seperate.varieties
.but do need to pollinate them.
I thought those little things looking like grain had the pollen in it..guess i was wrong.
The tops (tassles) have the pollen
The pollen falls on the silks and pollinates them
can you pollinate the silks when they are still white? or do you have to wait until they get darker?
Yes!
As soon as you see silk you need to start treating for earworms... and when the silks are a little better established (a week or so later) you should start pollinating.
Now, if you have a LOT of corn grown close together, you shouldn't need to help with pollination.
Only if there is just a row or two do you need to give them some help.
👍
Thanks for watching!
Has anyone actually tested this to see if fewer than four rows results in poor pollination? I usually plant corn three rows at a time and they seem to do alright without any help. There are rumors that the rain may end here soon and I can actually plant some corn this year. Likely I will have to mow the garden first.
I'm hoping this makes all the ears fill out.
What is benefit of pollinate corns?
If corn is not pollinated the ears will not be full of kernels.
@@BIGALTX Thank you for the informations. I haven’t thought of using that ideas. This is my first year of planting corns, so don’t know how my corn will be turn out.
The main thing about corn is that it has to be pollinated and FED.
Corn takes a lot of fertilizer and water to get nice full ears.
Can I store pollen? I ask because my corn here in (South Africa) is taking long to silk and by the time it starts silking, the pollen has been beaten about by the wind for 3 weeks and I hardly have any left.
Hmmm... I really don't know the answer.
But, there are lots of other windy places that raise corn without any problems.
So, I would think there is more pollen left on them than you think.
@@BIGALTX thank you for the reply.
Same thing for me in S.Florida.
Brother i appreciate the effort but your working too hard just shake the plants in the evening on dry days and the plants will do the rest same method i use with tomatoes
Hahaha... I do shake them, and that will work most of the time.
But, there are some folks that only plant a1 or 2 rows that might need to do this to *_make sure_* they are pollinated.
Just being precautious :)
First
👍
Hand pollinating corn. Hahahhahahahaaa. You're such a joker!
