Fellows (1948) described lodging as "the condition in which the culms in large areas bend at or near the surface of the ground, the bending varying in degree from slight deviation from the perpendicular to a nearly prostrate condition, though commonly the term is applied only if the deviation is more than slight". On a general term, "lodging is a mass falling" and according to Grafius and Brown (1954) it is the response to torque', caused by external forces.
