Lodging is one of the causes of maize (Zea mays L.) production losses worldwide and, at least, the resistance to stalk lodging has been positively correlated with stalk strength. In order to elucidate the putative relationship between cell wall, stalk strength and lodging resistance, twelve maize inbreds varying in rind penetration strength and lodging

The effect of testing rate on biomechanical measurements related to stalk lodging. [PDF]
Abstract Background Stalk lodging (the premature breaking of plant stalks or stems prior to harvest) is a persistent agricultural problem that causes billions of dollars in lost yield every year. Three-point bending tests, and rind puncture tests are common biomechanical measurements utilized to investigate crops susceptibility to lodging ...

POTENTIAL USE OF STALK pH AND STALK PERCENT DRY MATTER AS ESTIMATORS OF LODGING SUSCEPTIBILITY IN CORN [PDF]
Fourteen corn (Zea mays L.) hybrids were grown at three locations in 1973 and one location in 1975 to study relationships between stalk pH, percent stalk dry matter (SDM), and percent broken stalks (PBS). The three traits were measured at weekly intervals for 4 or 5 wk encompassing grain physiological maturity in the tests of 1973, and on one date ...

Stalk architecture, cell wall composition, and QTL underlying high stalk flexibility for improved lodging resistance in maize [PDF]
Abstract Background Stalk fracture caused by strong wind can severely reduce yields in maize. Stalks with higher stiffness and flexibility will exhibit stronger lodging resistance. However, stalk flexibility is rarely studied in maize.

The Effect of Plant Weight on Estimations of Stalk Lodging Resistance [PDF]
Abstract Background: Stalk lodging (breaking of agricultural plant stalks prior to harvest) is a multi-billion dollar a year problem. Stalk lodging occurs when bending moments induced by a combination of external loading (e.g. wind) and self-loading (e.g. the plant’s own weight) exceed the stalk bending strength of plant stems.
