Zea mays L. subsp. mays (Popcorn Group)
An important morphological trait of popcorn characterizing stem development from the base to the tassel, which is normally 180–210 cm.
In the reference 24 varieties crop Popcorn, where this is mentioned in the description.
For popcorn, plant height is measured in centimeters from the soil surface to the base or the tip of the tassel. Typical values for modern hybrids of this group range from 180 to 210 cm, with values below 180 cm classified as short, and those exceeding 250 cm as tall.
This trait is closely related to agronomic practices: there is an inverse relationship between stem height and optimal plant density, as well as a risk of lodging in tall forms. Plant height is negatively correlated with earliness, which is taken into account when selecting parent lines to ensure synchronous flowering.
