Meaning of "tasselling" in English

Tasselling refers to the process associated with the growth of tassels in plants, primarily seen in crops like corn (maize), where the top part of the plant, called tassel, develops. This is a critical stage in the plant's growth cycle as it signifies the onset of pollination. Tassels contain the male flowers and are essential for shedding pollen over the female flowers. The stage of tasselling can impact the yield and quality of the crop, making it a crucial part of agricultural processes.

Meaning of "tasselling" in French

In French, "tasselling" refers to the same biological process as in English, occurring primarily in corn (maize) cultivation. Known as "étape de floraison des panicules," it is a phase where the plant develops its male flowers positioned at the top. This critical development stage marks the beginning of pollination, which is fundamental for fertilization and ensuring productivity. Growing tassels indicate that the plant is ready to disperse pollen onto female counterparts, determining the success of the crop yield.
