Effects of syncrhonization between silk receptivity and pollen grain vigor on kernel sets of corn (Zea mays L.)
Kernel sets in corn were affected by silk receptivity, pollen grain vigor, and the synchronization of silking and pollen shedding. Grain yield decrement was often caused by poor kernel set ability under field ...
