Short corn has a dense stature, with decreased space between leaf internodes (where the leaves grow from the stems). This makes silks grow closer together, giving them an easier time taking in pollen, which ultimately leads to better pollination and potentially higher yields.

Prof Diskin's great work replaced fiction with facts as he systematically identified the key components required to achieve good fertility, such as a rising plane of nutrition and targets like correct body condition score.
