Relationship among planting density, field lodging rate, and yield Analyses of correlations between field lodging rate and agronomic traits, stem mechanical characteristics, biochemical compositions, and yield and its components revealed a highly significant, positive correlation of field lodging rate with plant height, length of the stem internode, and height of center of gravity; a highly significant, negative correlation of field lodging rate with stem wall thickness, root fresh weight, lignin content, crude fiber content, single-plant weight, grain yield, and 1,000-grain weight ( P < 0.01); and a significant negative correlation of field lodging rate with compressive strength and breaking strength of stems ( P < 0.05) ( Fig. 4A ).

The sentences
With increasing planting density, the plant height of both LENA and QY2 first showed an increasing trend and then a decreasing trend, and reached maximum plant height at D2, whereas diameter and wall thickness of the second and third stem internodes, and root fresh weight showed a decreasing trend.
