In the home garden especially, it is beneficial to water both mid-day and in the evening corn stalk plants... once silking has begun. R1. water plant at base and between rows, and not down upon the stalk. hydration of the hollow silks for pollen tube elongation success is directly related to the condition of the corn husk's silk. which are hollow tubes! the cobs/silk will be looking for water in the morning's morning hours. drought or water reduction is one of the causes of poorly pollinated corn cobs even when abundant pollen is available. corn silks grow fastest during at night or in the morning when water status is at its greatest level. dry soil and summer heat can hinder this important aspect of corn on the cob full development. silks can grow 1.5-2" per day during these periods. if feasible, hand pollination towards the end of the pollen drop period, 10 days or so from silking... can help fill out the cob's tips. here, late bloomer silks will show up. and may be covered over by other pollinated silks. and pollen is scarce. hence, the tip is often with immature kernels. silking is also the time for some added Nitrogen between rows! ~
managed well, this can be the result!
