When evaluating an aster peduncle, the length of both the central shoot and first-order shoots is measured in centimeters, and the stem strength is assessed by experts. The strength index is critical, as it determines the plant's ability to support a heavy inflorescence without bending or lodging.
In breeding practice, varieties intended for cutting should have a peduncle length of 30–40 cm or more, while border and pot groups are characterized by shorter and more compact shoots. The length and strength of the peduncles directly affect the crop's resistance to adverse weather conditions and the variety's market demand.
