Effect of leaf removal on photosynthetically active radiation distribution in maize canopy and stalk strength

The objectives of this study were to determine how the distribution of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in a maize canopy affected basal internode strength and stalk lodging. The distributions of PAR within the canopies of two maize cultivars (Zhongdan 909 and Xinyu 41) were altered by remo...
