Aims
  • To determine whether the chemical 'Cycocel' is effective at reducing the lodging tendency of barley.
  • To measure the effect of 'Cycocel' on barley yield and grain quality.
Key messages
  • There was no difference between the treatments in terms of crop standability.
  • The crop lodged quite badly with approximatelly 50% of the plants less than 45 degrees to the horizontal across all treatments.
  • For further discussion, please see the attached trial report.
