A mechanical study on the mitigation of lodging in edible canna

Because edible canna is approximately 3-m tall in its latter growth stage, strong winds such as by typhoons can induce plant lodging and cause severe damage to it. To improve our previous estimations that the 1-m dwarfing of a plant mitigated 10–20% by strong wind (external force) and 50% by own wei...
