How to pollinate corn
Growing organic food can be very rewarding and fun for the entire family. This video discusses pollinating corn by hand. Corn is a wind pollinated plant and if you don't have many rows of corn planted, (or have only one single row of corn planted), proper pollination of the female corn ears can be difficult. If the ears of corn that you pick have blank sections on it once it gets shucked, this is an example of inadequate pollination. There are several ways to hand pollinate corn, I explained two methods in this video. Each one of the female hairs, I call them hairs but the scientific name is (stigmas) the common name is (silk or corn silk) are attached to a kernel inside the stalk. Each one of those hairs (or stigmas) need to be pollinated for the kernel to grow. When each one is adequately pollinated, you will have a beautiful full ear of corn with rows of kernels. Hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching!
