Preventing lodging in bioenergy crops: a biomechanical analysis of maize stalks suggests a new approach [PDF]

open access: bronzeJournal of Experimental Botany, 2015
The hypothetical ideal for maize (Zea mays) bioenergy production would be a no-waste plant: high-yielding, with silage that is easily digestible for conversion to biofuel. However, increased digestibility is typically associated with low structural strength and a propensity for lodging.

Effect of altered leaf angle on maize stalk lodging resistance [PDF]

open access: yesCrop Science, 2020
AbstractIncreasing light intensity in the mid and low canopy can improve maize (Zea mays L.) stalk lodging resistance. Field experiments involving altered leaf angle were designed to explore how leaf angle affects the light distribution within the canopy, stalk carbohydrate accumulation, stalk strength formation, and grain yield. When the leaf area was

Response of stalk lodging resistance traits, yield and quality of silage maize to high density. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Rep
A two-factor randomized block experiment was conducted in 2024 to investigate three silage maize varieties under three high densities (150,000, 180,000, and 210,000 plants [Formula: see text]). The study aimed to explore how high-density environments affect stalk lodging.

A Comparison of Maize Stalk Rot Occurrence in Bt and Non-Bt Hybrids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Stalk rots, caused by a complex of fungal species, are among the most widespread and destructive diseases of maize. Larvae of the European corn borer (ECB) (Ostrinia nubilalis) promote stalk rot development by creating entry points for fungi, serving as ...

Maize Stalk Lodging: Morphological Determinants of Stalk Strength

open access: yesCrop Science, 2017
An incomplete understanding of stalk strength and stalk lodging impedes efforts to improve maize (Zea mays L.) production. To develop a more complete understanding of stalk strength, the current study examined the effect of stalk morphology on stalk bending strength.

Measurement and Analysis of Root Anchorage Effect on Stalk Forces in Lodged Corn Harvesting

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The effect of root anchorage on corn stalk is the main cause of difficulties in stalk lifting and ear picking of lodged corn. To quantify the forces on the stalks caused by root anchorage in corn harvesting, a root force measurement system was designed and applied in this study.

STALK LODGING RESISTANCE OF CORN HYBRIDS DEPENDING ON THE PLANTING DATE [PDF]

open access: yesAgriculture and Forestry, 2019
Purpose. To study the effect of the planting date on the number of the lodged stalks, place of stem breaking and productivity of corn hybrids of various maturity groups. Methods. Field, laboratory, statistical. Results. In the studies, three planting dates were studied, in particular, early date with the soil temperature regime (STR) at the seeding ...

Maize basal internode development significantly affects stalk lodging resistance

open access: yesField Crops Research, 2022
Stalk lodging in maize causes yield and quality losses worldwide. This could potentially be prevented through breeding and improved crop management. Breeding efforts and management optimization are however, hampered by the lack of an internode growth model and an indicator for stalk lodging resistance.
