plant height; height of a plant
Primarily used for the height of herbaceous plants, especially rice plants in agricultural contexts. Also used more broadly for the height of grass or other non-woody plants.
The plant height of this variety is about 80 centimeters.
If the plant height grows too tall, it becomes prone to lodging.
Compound of 草 (くさ, 'grass, plant') and 丈 (たけ, 'height, length'). The reading たけ for 丈 is a native Japanese reading.
