Alstroemeria lodging

Alstroemeria L.

Alstroemeria lodging is the loss of stem strength under the weight of inflorescences, which is critical for cut flower quality. Modern hybrids are characterized by high resistance to this phenomenon, often requiring no additional support.

In the reference 27 varieties crop Alstroemeria, where this is mentioned in the description.

For this crop, lodging is considered not as a widespread agrotechnical issue, but as a varietal trait affecting commercial classification. Stem strength is a key quality parameter evaluated using specialized instrumental methods developed by breeding centers.

Modern breeding is aimed at developing hybrids with natural resistance to lodging, which eliminates the need for installing support netting. Older varieties prone to lodging require the use of staking systems during greenhouse cultivation to maintain the marketability of the produce.
