DARLING: a device for assessing resistance to lodging in grain crops
Plant Methods, 2019 Background Stalk lodging (breakage of plant stems prior to harvest) is a major problem for both farmers and plant breeders. A limiting factor in addressing this problem is the lack of a reliable method for phenotyping stalk strength.

Maize Stalk Lodging: Morphological Determinants of Stalk Strength
Crop 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.

Genetic Relationship of Stalk Strength and Ear Height in Maize [PDF]
Crop Science, 2003 The rind penetrometer is an effective tool for measuring stalk strength in an effort to improve maize (Zea mays L.) germplasm for stalk lodging resistance. However, previous studies have indicated a significant negative correlation between rind penetrometer resistance (RPR) and ear height (EH).

Nitrogen Split Application Can Improve the Stalk Lodging Resistance of Maize Planted at High Density
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 ...
