Failure patterns of cereal roots. Experimental evidence suggests that cereal crop roots act as tethers in tension or compression. During root lodging, these tethers may fail through (A) roots pulling out of the soil and/or (B) roots breaking in either tension (on the side where force is applied) or compression (on the side away from where the force is applied).
