Moderate Nitrogen Management Enhancing Maize Lodging Resistance by Reducing Pathogen Infection and Expansion of Stalk Rot

At present, maize production is facing the challenge of balancing stalk lodging caused by stalk rot with maintaining a good grain yield potential. Improving the basal internode properties by optimizing nitrogen (N) management is an effective strategy to reduce the stalk rot incidence and stalk lodgi...
