Corn Tassle Bags

These bags cover the tassels of corn while the stalks emerge to protect them from the wind which carries the pollen to other plants. You'll want to place them over the tassels to collect the pollen and then redistribute the pollen from that variety onto the silks of the ears from the same variety. These bags shed water. You can find out more about hand-pollinating corn with our "Guide to the Hand-Pollination of Corn."
