Exogenous plant growth retardants (PGRs) increase yield by reducing lodging occurrence
but lower yield if lodging is absent in maize (Zea mays L.). It is hypothesized that PGRs can …

Farmers in China have gradually increased plant density in maize to achieve higher yields,
but this has increased risk of lodging due to taller and weaker stems at higher plant …

Plant growth retardants (mainly with active ingredient of ethephon) prevent maize (Zea mays
L.) lodging as plant density increases, but frequently reduce grain yield if lodging is not a …

Enhancing maize lodging resistance with plant growth retardants (PGRs) is common in
maize production. However, the underlying mechanisms of yield formation as affected by …

Increasing light intensity in the mid and low canopy can improve maize (Zea mays L.) stalk
lodging resistance. Field experiments involving altered leaf angle were designed to explore …

Lodging is a critical constraint to yield increase. There appear to be tradeoffs between yield
formation and lodging resistance in maize. Hypothetically, it is feasible to reduce lodging risk …

Lodging is a major constraint to maize productivity and harvesting mechanization in the
North China Plain. EDAH (contains ethephon and diethyl aminoethyl hexanoate) is a novel …

Lodging is a function of many factors, but their relative importance is unclear in maize. To
clarify this, a two year field experiment that involved six maize genotypes and two plant …

Increasing planting density is an effective way to improve maize yield, but high plant
populations often cause a lodging problem. This experiment was conducted to investigate …

The contribution of individual leaves and the extra leaves above the ear to dry matter (DM)
accumulation and grain yield in Leafy maize (Zea mays L.) is not well documented. A field …
