Its causes are complex, involving the interaction between genotype, environmental factors including abiotic and biotic stresses and crop management. There is a lack of robust selection tools available for breeders to accurately assess and select for lodging resistance as natural lodging (under field conditions) occurrence is not consistent in every crop cycle. A model of the lodging process has been used for estimating ideotype parameters of a lodging proof wheat plant (Figure 1) in absence of natural lodging.SPRING WHEATCROP MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL FACTORSGENOTYPESOpen Access
