How many ears of corn are there on a single corn stalk? This Site Might Help You. RE: How many ears of corn are there on a single corn stalk? A corn stalk has the potential of producing one ear at every leaf attachment. but because we want good standability and large consistent ears, Plant breeders tend to breed for 1 good ear. Even then on a good year with plenty of rain and sun plants tend to push for 2 good ears but will abort one if conditions change.

Frost The stem on a corn plant is a temporary storage organ for material that eventually moves into the kernels (Afuakwa and Crookston, 1984) . Grain yield will continue to increase about 7 to 20% after a light frost that only kills the leaves as long as the stem is not killed (Table 4).

Using the standard dry-moisture rate of 15.5 percent, it takes roughly 70.7 ears of dry corn to produce one bushel. Therefore, the ideal weight of one ear of corn is 1.26 pounds. The USDA estimates that 158.8 bushels of corn is produced for every acre of crop planted. This equates to roughly 11,227 ears of corn (14,146.02 pounds) produced per acre.

stages of the corn stalk.... stages of the corn stalk.... I am growing silver queen corn this year. I've grown corn one other time, about 9 years ago...it was a yellow sweet corn. That year I did get corn ears on every stalk but there were only kernels on one side of the ears. So I haven't tried corn again until this year.
