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

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 ...

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
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.

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
