Lodging in White Cabbage

Brassica oleracea L. (White Cabbage Group)

Lodging in white cabbage refers to the instability of the head or the inclination of the stalk, causing the plant to lose its upright position. This trait is critical for ensuring the feasibility of mechanized harvesting.

In the reference 35 varieties crop White cabbage, where this is mentioned in the description.

In breeding practice, lodging resistance is defined by the plant's ability to maintain an upright position prior to harvest. The key morphological factor influencing this parameter is the height of the external stalk; excessive length leads to the head tipping over under its own weight.

The trait is assessed visually or through measurements on the eve of harvest. Low resistance complicates the operation of harvesting machinery, causing yield losses due to incorrect gripping. Furthermore, the inclination of the head toward the soil promotes contamination and the development of rots, which negatively affects marketability and storage life.
