Lodging in red fescue

Festuca rubra L.

Lodging of red fescue stands is a critical factor reducing the seed productivity of the crop due to the deterioration of pollination and seed development conditions.

In the reference 22 varieties crop Red fescue, where this is mentioned in the description.

The main causes of red fescue lodging include high plant density in thick stands, excessive nitrogen fertilization, and unfavorable weather conditions, such as a cold and wet spring. This process triggers significant seed yield losses.

To assess the degree of lodging, visual scales are used, including a 10-point system, where 1 point corresponds to a vertical stem position and 10 points to complete lodging. Additionally, the classical 5-point state variety testing methodology based on the stem inclination angle is used, as well as modern remote sensing methods utilizing drones. In breeding, lodging resistance has a high correlation with yield indicators, reaching values of r_s = 0,874.
