When to bag shoots:
Begin  scouting  for  and  bagging  young  ears,  called  shoots,  when
tassels begin to emerge. To find shoots, look for husk leaves along
the stem where silks will soon begin to emerge from the tiny ears. Learning  to  identify  and  bag  ears  is  essential  to  the
hand-pollination process. Once silks are visible, they may already
be  contaminated  with  foreign  pollen,  so  it  is  vital  that  ears  are
bagged before silks emerge.~section~
