[0004] Hybrid maize plants often reach heights of over 6 feet (1.83 meters) during the growing season, particularly in later stages of development. However, standard agricultural sprayers and other mechanized applicators typically have a ground clearance of 6 feet or less (e.g., due to the height of the sprayer or applicator arm or boom and / or the bottom of the hull). This ground clearance, below crop height, prevents farmers from using standard vehicle-mounted equipment to access their fields to spray fertilizers or pesticides or perform other overhead applications without causing significant damage to the crop. Therefore, there is a need in the art to develop methods that allow access to maize fields with standard farm equipment during or at the end of the season while minimizing the risk of damage to maize plants.

Attached Figure Description
[0013] Figure 1 The heights of wild-type control (WT) maize plants and semi-dwarf maize plants containing the GA20 oxidase inhibitor construct (SUP_GA20 oxidase) were depicted. Height was measured in feet (ft) and growth time was indicated by both date (Jun: June; Jul: July) and growth stage (V11, V15, and R1).

[0036] Because modern corn stalks are typically between 1.9 and 2.7 meters tall, most standard farm equipment cannot access the cornfield throughout the growing season, especially towards the end, to apply fertilizers, pesticides, mulch, or other applications without significantly damaging the stalks. Most standard farm equipment has a maximum ground clearance between approximately 1.52 meters (5 feet) and 1.83 meters (6 feet). However, if the corn stalks (e.g., dwarf or semi-dwarf corn) are relatively short during the later stages of vegetative growth and / or at maturity, farm equipment can have a longer (or potentially unlimited) window to access the field for over-the-top application without severely damaging the crop. Additionally, farm equipment and applicators at lower heights may typically have limited access to the field during the early stages of the growing season, but will not damage the stalks once they reach a certain height. For example, a wider application window can be expected when using equipment with relatively low ground clearance, such as tractors and frames (or other lower-height sprayers or dry spreaders), during the V8-V12 stages of maize development. In some implementations, for example, frames for spray application with a ground clearance of about 30 inches may have an additional six days of field access (e.g., 46 days relative to 40 days after planting some hybrids), or may have longer field access in cooler climates due to the different growth degree units (GDU) per calendar day, where semi-dwarf hybrid maize is shorter than typical maize hybrids.

[0070] A corn leaf consists of four main anatomical parts: the proximal sheath, the ligule, the auricle, and the distal blade. The sheath encloses the stem and the younger leaves, while the blade flattens along its mid-lateral axis (from the midrib to the margin). The ligule and auricle are found at the blade / sheath boundary; the ligule is a paraxial (upper) membranous structure that acts as a collar around the stem, and the auricle is a projection on the lower surface of the leaf root that connects the blade to the sheath. The growth stages of a corn plant are divided into vegetative (V) and reproductive (R) stages. At germination, the corn plant is said to be in the VE stage (emergence). Once the first collar (e.g., the ligule) is visible, the corn plant is in the V1 stage. The appearance of the second collar indicates the V2 stage; the appearance of the third collar indicates the V3 stage; and so on, until the tassel appears. For example, if twelve collars are visible, the plant is in the V12 stage. Once the lowest branch of the tassel appears, the plant is in the VT stage, the final vegetative stage. The reproductive stage of growth occurs after the vegetative stage. The number of vegetative stages preceding the VT stage can vary depending on the environment and maize variety. The first reproductive stage (R1; silking stage) occurs when the silks are visible outside the husks surrounding the ear. R2 (bubbling stage) occurs when the outer surface of the kernel is white and the inside is filled with a clear liquid. R3 (milky stage) occurs when the outer surface of the kernel is yellow and the inside is filled with a milky white fluid. R4 (waxy stage) occurs when the kernel is filled with a thick or pasty fluid. In some maize varieties, the cob will also turn pink or red at this stage. R5 (depression stage) occurs when most of the kernels are at least partially sunken. The final reproductive stage R6 (physiological maturity) occurs when the kernels have reached their maximum dry weight. According to an embodiment of the invention, maize developmental stages are defined according to the Iowa State University (ISU) method.

[0080] The height of maize plants can be measured using a variety of methods known in the art. The height of maize plants can be measured at stages V6, V7, V8, V9, V10, V11, V12, V13, V14, V15, VT, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, or R6. The height of maize plants can also be determined based on multiple anatomical locations on the maize plant. On one hand, the height of the maize plant is measured as the distance between the top of the soil or ground and the ligule or leaf collar of the uppermost fully unfolded leaf of the maize plant. As used herein, a “fully unfolded leaf” is a leaf in which the leaf blade is exposed and both the ligule and auricle are visible at the leaf / sheath boundary. On the other hand, the height of the maize plant is measured as the distance between the top of the soil or ground and the uppermost leaf surface of the leaf furthest from the soil or ground (i.e., the uppermost leaf). On yet another hand, the height of the maize plant is measured as the distance between the top of the soil or ground and the arch of the highest maize leaf that is at least 50% unfolded. On the other hand, the height of the corn plant is measured as the distance between the top of the soil or ground and the anatomical portion of the corn plant furthest from the soil or ground (i.e., the top of the soil or ground), such as the uppermost surface of the leaf furthest from the ground or soil. Exemplary non-limiting methods for measuring plant height include comparing a photograph of the corn plant with a height reference, or physically measuring an individual corn plant with a suitable ruler. Unless otherwise stated, the height of the corn plant disclosed herein is measured as the distance between the top of the soil or ground and the ligule or collar of the uppermost fully unfolded leaf of the corn plant. Unless otherwise stated, all descriptions herein regarding the plant height of a plant population may refer to the average plant height within the plant population, or, if stated, to the percentage of plants in the plant population.
