It says they dont detract/distract measurably from the main stalk.

Looks to me as though these 'tillers' are similar to secondary vines on pumpkin plants. Maybe burying stalks and tillers would result in the corn taking on the characteristics of a well-tended (and vine-buried) pumpkin plant. Grow corn, fill container with Myco-soil as corn grows and see what happens.
I did not have any corn sprout this year, butt also did not try all that hard, with seeds from like 2002, lol.
An experiment 4 next year, fer sherr! eg

Things a home gardener could try that a commercial grower would never even consider. Although... the results would probably depend on the variety.

I intercropped cucumbers and tomatoes between my corn. A bit silly of me but every time I try something novel
I learn something.

Rudoph and Santa Caus are not down that! You're posting good winter stuff for the Aussies, New Zealanders and South African growers. Ha ha.
