In situ evaluation of stalk lodging resistance for different maize (Zea mays L.) cultivars using a mobile wind machine

In situ evaluation of stalk lodging resistance for different maize (Zea mays L.) cultivars using a mobile wind machine

Abstract Background Stalk lodging is an impediment to improving profitability and production efficiency in maize. Lodging resistance, a comprehensive indicator to appraise genotypes, requires both characterization of mechanical properties in laboratory and investigation of lodging percentage in fiel...
