Variety traits

Lodging — Echinacea purpurea

Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench

The lodging trait in Echinacea is considered an indicator of adaptability and is evaluated visually using a scoring scale during variety trials to ensure mechanized harvesting.

In the reference 16 varieties crop Purple coneflower, where this is mentioned in the description.

Lodging resistance in Echinacea purpurea is evaluated primarily through visual assessment on a scoring scale, most commonly from 0 to 5. This trait is important for selecting promising varieties that combine productivity with suitability for mechanized raw material harvesting.

The risk of lodging in the crop is closely related to the intensity of vegetative growth under the influence of excessive nitrogen nutrition, which triggers internode elongation and the weakening of the stem's mechanical tissues. Additionally, tall-growing forms and plants subjected to seed pre-treatment that induces accelerated seedling growth are also prone to lodging.
