Fig. 8. Kernel set expressed relative to the number of exposed silks at four levels of male fertility (MF) for Pioneer 3978 (P3978) and Pioneer 3925 (P3925). Pollen shed is presented as a fraction of the total seasonal deposition expected in a field of 100% MF plants. Symbols are measured values; lines indicate predicted values. (a) Predicted kernel set is based on silk exsertion and pollen shed dynamics for each MF treatment. (b) Predicted kernel set incorporates potential kernel loss due to asynchronous pollination within ears and asynchronous development between ears.
