abstract
Abstract Not Available – First paragraph follows:
Incomplete ear fill—blanking—in fresh market sweet corn is due to the failure of individual kernels to begin development and has been particularly troublesome in the Coachella Valley. Usually blanking is most serious near the tip of the ear, but it can extend over the body of the ear.
