Variety traits
Zea mays L. subsp. mays (Popcorn Group)
Lodging in popcorn manifests as stalk breakage or root leaning, leading to yield losses and reduced grain processing quality due to ear contact with the soil.
In the reference 23 varieties crop Popcorn, where this is mentioned in the description.
Popcorn has a less robust root system compared to dent corn forms, which biologically increases its susceptibility to lodging on waterlogged or heavy soils. The risk of stalk breakage, which occurs most frequently below the ear attachment point, increases significantly at high seeding densities.
When assessing resistance, the percentage of broken or leaning plants is taken into account, which is critical for preventing fungal infections and maintaining the expansion volume of the grain during popping. Evaluation is conducted visually during full maturity or after a deliberate harvesting delay of 20–30 days.
