{"Image DocumentName": "Determining growth staging", "Image ImageDescription": "Leaf collar method. The collar is where the leaf blade visually breaks away from the sheath and the stalk. The number of visible collars = vegetative growth stage (V stages) In order to determine the growth stage of corn, many people use the leaf collar method (page 6, Corn Field Guide). The collar is where the leaf blade visually breaks away from the sheath and the stalk of the corn plant, visible here. Vegetative growth stages are based upon the number of visible leaf collars. So the number of visible leaf collars is equal to vegetative growth stage (V stages).", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
