Evaluation of maize lodging resistance based on the critical wind speed of stalk breaking during the late growth stage

open access: yesPlant Methods, 2020
Background The accurate evaluation of the stalk-lodging resistance during the late stage of maize growth can provide a basis for the selection of cultivars, the evaluation of cultivation techniques, and timely mechanical grain harvesting.

Elucidating compositional factors of maize cell walls contributing to stalk strength and lodging resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
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.

Maize basal internode development significantly affects stalk lodging resistance

open access: yes, 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 ...

Effects of plant density and nitrogen rate on lodging-related stalk traits of summer maize

open access: yesPlant, Soil and Environment, 2016
Stalk lodging is a major constraint to limit grain yield under increased planting density in modern maize (Zea mays L.) production. A 3-year field experiment was imposed to study the effects of plant density and nitrogen (N) rate on stalk lodging and ...

Stalk Rot and Lodging in the 2000 Corn Cop [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Many experienced observers indicated that stalk rot and lodging in the 2000 season were the worst they have seen in over 20 years in Iowa. These observations are difficult to verify without an objective survey, but most would agree that lodging was more ...

Cross-sectional geometry predicts failure location in maize stalks

open access: yesPlant Methods, 2022
Background Stalk lodging (breaking of agricultural plant stalks prior to harvest) is a multi-billion dollar a year problem. Stalk lodging occurs when high winds induce bending moments in the stalk which exceed the bending strength of the plant.

Coordination of Density and Nitrogen Fertilization Improves Stalk Lodging Resistance of Strip-Intercropped Maize with Soybeans by Affecting Stalk Quality Traits

open access: yesAgriculture, 2023
To ensure yield in strip-intercropped maize with soybeans (SM), it is crucial to plant at a density comparable to that of monoculture maize (MM). This requires reducing spacing by more than half, increasing intraspecific competition, and altering stalk ...

Stalk architecture, cell wall composition, and QTL underlying high stalk flexibility for improved lodging resistance in maize

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2020
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.

Field‐based mechanical phenotyping of cereal crops to assess lodging resistance

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, 2020
Plant mechanical failure, also known as lodging, is the cause of significant and unpredictable yield losses in cereal crops. Lodging occurs in two distinct failure modes—stalk lodging and root lodging.

High-Throughput Phenotyping of Cross-Sectional Morphology to Assess Stalk Mechanical Properties in Sorghum

open access: yesAgriculture, 2022
Lodging is one of the major constraints in attaining high yield in crop production. Major factors associated with stalk lodging involve morphological traits and anatomical features along with the chemical composition of the stem. However, little relevant
