    Comment "1. In this way male plants that are not detasseled (and which are a different type of corn) cross pollinate with the rows that we have detasseled, the female rows. This produces the special seed corn that farmers want to plant.2. A corn plant normally is both male and female, capable of fertilising itself; the designations of male and female only describe the role that certain corn plants have been given for the sake of creating a hybrid seed corn.Reference: 1.
