From: Diverse maize hybrids are structurally inefficient at resisting wind induced bending forces that cause stalk lodging

Fig. 1

Structural efficiency along the length of the specimen as a function of probable wind loadings (top); loading diagrams for a point load and uniform drag force (bottom). Plant height (x-axis) is normalized to the height of the plant specimen. Section modulus (y-axis) is normalized by the difference between the section modulus at the top internode (SMtop) and the bottom internode (SMbottom)
