<i>Sorghum bicolor</i> L. Stalk Stiffness Is Marginally Affected by Time of Day under Field Conditions

This study sought to better understand how time of day (ToD) or turgor pressure might affect the flexural stiffness of sweet sorghum stalks and potentially regulate stalk lodging resistance. Stalk flexural stiffness measured across a 48 h period in 2019 showed a significant diurnal association with...
