Lodging in Agastache clayt. ex gronov.

Agastache Clayt. ex Gronov.

Lodging in giant hyssop is an undesirable deviation of stems from the vertical position, which reduces the productivity and quality of plant raw materials.

In the reference 10 varieties crop Giant hyssop, where this is mentioned in the description.

To assess lodging in the genus Agastache, a scoring scale from 1 to 9 is used, based on the degree of stem deviation from the vertical under the influence of meteorological factors or agrotechnical conditions. For the species Agastache rugosa, resistance indices were recorded at the level of 3.3 points on this scale.

The tendency to lodge is determined by morphological characteristics, such as stem diameter and stiffness, as well as external factors. Excessive nitrogen nutrition and lack of light, causing shading, lead to a loss of stem strength, which negatively affects crop quality and provokes the development of diseases when the vegetative mass comes into contact with the soil.
