Does tasseling corn make ears bigger?
I assume you mean de-tasseling, the removal of the tassel. Any time you physically remove part of a corn plant, you are causing an injury from which the plant must recover. The process of healing takes nutrients from the plant that might otherwise have gone into the production of the seed or kernels. Diseases also find an easier path of entry into the plant which can even prove fatal. The same goes for removing the tillers or "suckers" that sometimes grow around the base of the plant. Maximum yields are achieved by allowing the plant to grow the way its genetics have determined and just provide it with the healthiest growing environment you can give it.
De-tasseling of corn is normally only done in seed production fields in order to create hybrids. See the related link below for more information on this practice.

If you are talking corn on the cob- Do not remove the husk. Soak in water whole for an hour. I wrap it in foil; I guess you don't have to. Throw it on the BBQ on a med low heat. The moisture in the husk steams the corn. It does take me a couple of hours this way. or If you want the BBQ flavor but want to get it faster. Boil the husked corn in water containing salt and sugar until the kernels are tender then throw it on the BBQ for just a few minutes. Make sure to rotate it. *** If you can, use hickory or mesquite wood chip. Great flavor!!
