On Cognitive Preferences and the Plausibility of Rule-based Models [PDF]

, 2019
It is conventional wisdom in machine learning and data mining that logical models such as rule sets are more interpretable than other models, and that among such rule-based models, simpler models are more interpretable than more complex ones.

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

, 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 ...

Ethephon Improved Stalk Strength of Maize (Zea Mays L.) Mainly through Altering Internode Morphological Traits to Modulate Mechanical Properties under Field Conditions

Agronomy, 2019
Stalk strength is critical for reducing maize stalk lodging and maintaining grain yield. Ethephon has been widely applied to molding compact plant-type to reduce the lodging risk in maize production.

Effect of three component evolution of cotton stalk on physical properties of its forming fuel during hydrothermal treatment

Meitan xuebao, 2023
The cotton stalk is a typical biomass waste. Its problems such as the loose structure, low calorific value and low energy density can be effectively solved by hydrothermal treatment and hot pressing forming.

Maize Lodging Resistance with Plastic Film Removal, Increased Planting Density, and Cultivars with Different Maturity Periods

Plants, 2022
While plastic film mulching and proper high-density planting are important methods that can improve maize yield, years of accumulated residual film have created soil pollution and degraded soil, and thus has impeded sustainable agriculture development ...

Integrated Puncture Score: force–displacement weighted rind penetration tests improve stalk lodging resistance estimations in maize

Plant Methods, 2020
Background Stalk lodging (breaking of agricultural plant stalks prior to harvest) is a multi-billion dollar a year problem. Rind penetration resistance tests have been used by plant scientists and breeders to estimate the stalk lodging resistance of ...

Stalk Bending Strength is Strongly Associated with Maize Stalk Lodging Incidence Across Multiple Environments

Field Crops Research, 2019
Abstract Stalk lodging in maize results in substantial yield losses worldwide. These losses could be prevented through genetic improvement. However, breeding efforts and genetics studies are hindered by lack of a robust and economical phenotyping method for assessing stalk lodging resistance.

Characterization and Fine Mapping of qRPR1-3 and qRPR3-1, Two Major QTLs for Rind Penetrometer Resistance in Maize

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Stalk strength is one of the most important traits in maize, which affects stalk lodging resistance and, consequently, maize harvestable yield. Rind penetrometer resistance (RPR) as an effective and reliable measurement for evaluating maize stalk ...
