Product Description
Portable Plant Stem Strength Tester
Application:
The stem intensity of sorghum,maize,and tobacco is a major factor to decide the lodging-resistance ability. Since long-term, The lodging of sorghum, maize, tobacco has caused great difficulties in crops mechanized harvesting . In current mechanization harvest level, a lot of crop is wasted. In addition, corn lodging, causing inadequate illumination.make its yield enormous limit. To cultivate high intensity stem of crop seed , This instrument applies to agricultural genetic breeding.
