Lodging — Avena strigosa

Avena strigosa Schreb.

Lodging in Avena strigosa is a critical productivity factor determined by the species' morphological characteristics. Resistance to this phenomenon is assessed through an analysis of culm strength and stem morphometric parameters.

In the reference 14 varieties crop Black oat, where this is mentioned in the description.

Avena strigosa is characterized by a thin and tall stem, which makes this species susceptible to lodging. In scientific practice, the stability of this trait is analyzed in comparison with other cultivated species of the genus Avena, with the assessment based on the determination of stem morphometric parameters, such as the length and diameter of internodes, as well as the total plant height.

For the quantitative description of Avena strigosa resistance, a scoring system from 1 to 9 is used, where the highest score corresponds to maximum resistance, or methods of analyzing the mechanical strength of the culm. Lodging of crops of this species leads to significant yield losses and hinders mechanized harvesting, requiring the use of specialized mowing technologies.
