Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect High plant density reduces the stalk quality of maize basal internodes
- Intervention effect High plant density increases stalk lodging in maize
- Intervention effect High plant density increases maize internode length
- Intervention effect High plant density increases the rate of rapid elongation of maize internodes
- Intervention effect High plant density decreases the duration of internode thickening in maize
- Intervention effect High plant density decreases dry matter accumulation in maize internodes
- Intervention effect High plant density causes the diameter of maize internodes to decline
- Intervention effect High plant density causes the dry weight per unit length of maize internodes to decline
- Observation Rind penetration strength of maize internodes did not increase rapidly until after the end of rapid morphological growth
- Association The rapid increase in maize rind penetration strength is closely related to cellulose and lignin accumulation
- Intervention effect High plant density makes rapid elongation, thickening and structural carbohydrate accumulation of maize internodes begin and end earlier
- Observation The mid-to-late stage of dry matter accumulation was critical for rind penetration strength formation in maize
- Recommendation The authors recommend implementing lodging-control measures as early as possible in the growing season for maize at high plant density
- Recommendation The authors recommend reducing the rate of rapid internode elongation in maize and increasing the rate of cellulose and lignin accumulation
