In my breeding work, aim for corn populations of 1000 to 5000 plants.

Based on my very limited experience, lodging resistance and height may not have such a direct relationship. My current sweet corn patch of Lofthouse Astronomy Domine is 6-9' tall and sails through wind storms without a problem, while my mom's 4' tall early hybrid types get flattened. I'm wondering if it has more to do with root vigor and attachment than height. The AD also has tons of crazy tillers, which I would think would make it more likely to lodge by making the stalks heavier but counterintuitively seems to be helping!
