Lodging — Chrysanthemum indicum

Chrysanthemum indicum L.

Lodging resistance is a key parameter of Chrysanthemum indicum architecture, determining the ornamental value and suitability of varieties for landscape use.

In the reference 13 varieties crop Indian chrysanthemum, where this is mentioned in the description.

For Chrysanthemum indicum, lodging is considered in the context of the morphological characteristics of erect and prostrate forms. In erect types, the ability to maintain a vertical position of the shoots directly affects the quality of hedges and the general aesthetics of the plants, whereas prostrate forms possess natural resistance to lodging.

In variety trials, 3-point or 5-point scales, integrated into the system for assessing biological stability and ornamental quality, are used to evaluate this trait. Unlike agricultural crops, quantitative physical metrics for lodging are not applied to this species.
