Mechanization of the selective harvest of broccoli
… of a preliminary experiment measuring broccoli stalk cutting forces indicated that the blade speed for a broccoli cutting mechanism should be as fast as possible to minimize the required cutting force. A manually-directed, powered cutting device was designed to fit readily into existing broccoli …

Evaluation of phenotyping methods for maize
… allow for the measurement of root complexity, stalk diameter and root angle. The method used is direct imaging of the root structures under controlled diffuse lighting. The method as developed in this work, differs in that the lighting is not diffuse, but structured in the form of a laser sheet …

Genotypic differences in lodging and Mechanical strength in stalks and Peduncles of Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.)
… to the millets and sorghum in mechanical stalk strengths tests crosses was due to peduncle breakage. Stalk and peduncle lodging were distinguished in 1988 and peduncle lodging was more critical than stalk lodging. The PMxNG test crosses were superior to the millet and sorghum in rind …

Produção de fitomassa fresca e seca e de grãos de sorgo (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) sob adubação orgânica e mineral
… m. On trial were evaluated for plant height and diameter stem sorghum and production of fresh biomass and dry biomass and grain yield of three cultivars in the first cut. Among the results was found that the greatest differences between plant height and stalk diameter for sorghum cultivars were …

A comparison of soil properties and plant-to-plant variability in no-till and strip-till corn fields in Illinois
… linear distance between plants, plant height, stalk diameter, dry biomass accumulation, number of barren ears, and grain yield and yield components. Tillage treatments of NT and ST were arranged in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications on two adjacent fields in a corn – soybean …

Systems Evaluation of Shallow Anhydrous Ammonia Placements, Rates, and Timing on Maize Plant Uniformity, Yield and N Use Efficiency
… uniformity in either plant growth (plant height, stalk diameter, stem volume), plant N status (leaf SPAD readings) or in final grain weight, relative to diagonal application, across a range of tillage and N rate treatments. Perhaps the parallel application treatment placed the NH<sub>3</sub> too …

Evaluation of additive and nonadditive genetic variation in elite maize germplasm for root, shoot, and ear characteristics
… nitrogen use efficiency, disease resistance, stalk and root strength, as well as generally improved performance under a range of biotic and abiotic stresses. Ten proprietary and two public inbreds were evaluated with a generation means design emanating from the diallel cross of the 12 parents. …
