Seeding rate impact on root lodging and greensnap in corn

Core Ideas Increasing the seeding rate by 10,000 seeds acre–1 increased root lodging incidence by 14%. Greensnap incidence did not change with an increased seeding rate. Yield loss from root lodging was evident at seeding rates above 36,000 seeds acre–1. Yield loss from greensnap was evident at 24,000 to 36,000 seeds acre–1.
