Baker/Acutis's approach

The lodging model, proposed by Baker et al. (1998) and later adapted for paddy rice simulation scenarios (Acutis et al., 2008), assumes that the dominant parameters that affects lodging is the wind induced bending moment at the stem base. The value of this bending moment relative to the failure moment of the stem, and the failure moment of the root/soil system indicates whether or not lodging of either type will occur (probability of lodging occurrence).

An outline of the lodging risk assessment method is given by the following flowchart:

A module which allows the user to estimate all required parameters is also implemented.
