e0“six cultivars of winter barley grown in Belfast, UK, in 1986/87”
e5“The growth regulator treatments reduced plant height and although dry weight/stem did not decrease significantly, dry weight/unit length of stem was similar in treated and untreated plots”

Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Pipkin had a very high lodging damage susceptibility index (70), while the other cultivars ranged from 1 to 18.
- Association Differences between cultivars in number of internodes, plant height and stem weight did not explain their differences in resistance to damage.
- Observation Panda had dry weight per unit length of 2·35 mg/mm, among the strongest cultivars.
- Observation Jennifer had dry weight per unit length of 2·34 mg/mm, among the strongest cultivars.
- Observation Pipkin had dry weight per unit length of 1·75 mg/mm, the lowest among the cultivars.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen application increased plant height.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen application did not affect dry weight per main stem.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen application decreased dry weight per unit length of stem.
- Intervention effect The growth regulator treatments reduced plant height.
- Intervention effect Dry weight per unit length of stem was similar in growth-regulator-treated and untreated plots.
- Recommendation Dry weight per unit length has potential as an objective indicator of straw strength and could be used in cultivar evaluation in the absence of damage in field trials.
