My corn is about 6ft tall and just starting to develop tassels. This is my first time growing corn, and just realized my stalks don’t have ears, as well as having some yellowing at the base. I looked it up and my best guess is a nutrition deficiency, so I’ve added some nitrogen and more calcium. My question is, at this point if the issue was nutrients, is there enough time for ears to develop before the tassels are no good? Should I wrap the tassels to preserve the male pollen for when there are ears?
