Experimental error analysis of biomechanical phenotyping for stalk lodging resistance in maize. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2023 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.

Nitrogen Split Application Can Improve the Stalk Lodging Resistance of Maize Planted at High Density [PDF]
Agriculture, 2020 The decrease of maize stalk quality is an important reason for stalk lodging during the grain filling stage. In the present study, a maize cultivar was planted at densities of 7.5, 9.0, 10.5, 12.0, and 13.5 × 104 plants ha−1 and subjected to nitrogen ...

The Crop Clamp - A non-destructive electromechanical pinch test to evaluate stalk lodging resistance. [PDF]
HardwareX, 2021 Given the ever-increasing world population, maize plays a pivotal role in global food security. A major obstacle facing farmers is stalk lodging (the breakage of the stalk before harvest), which leads to substantial losses in annual yields. Weather, disease, and pest damage are major contributors to stalk lodging.

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