Seed blanking
Seed blanking is a plant disease injury causing the seed producing anatomy to contain no seeds despite otherwise normal development. This term is used to contrast with other causes of seed production failure, including but not limited to earlier or more widespread damage to the plant.[1][2][3] For one example, wheat blast causes widespread seed blanking.[4]

I have seen subsistence farmers stand in front of their swaying, golden wheat fields, but there is not a single grain inside the spikes.
