Seedling traits of maize as indicators of root lodging [PDF]
Summary — Research was undertaken to determine whether root lodging of maize (Zea mays L) can be predicted at the seedling stage. In the first experiment, seedlings from 9 central European flint x dent hybrids were tested under controlled conditions. At the 3-leaf stage, the diameter of the primary root was closely and negatively correlated with root ...

Genetic Analysis of Lodging in Diverse Maize Hybrids [PDF]
ABSTRACT Damage caused by lodging is a significant problem in corn production that results in estimated annual yield losses of 5-20%. Over the past 100 years, substantial maize breeding efforts have increased lodging resistance by artificial selection.

Experimental error analysis of biomechanical phenotyping for stalk lodging resistance in maize
AbstractStalk lodging destroys between 5 and 25% of grain crops annually. Developing crop varieties with improved lodging resistance will reduce the yield gap. Field-phenotyping equipment is critical to develop lodging resistant crop varieties, but current equipment is hindered by measurement error.
