Abstract

A method is described whereby numerical evaluations are introduced in the study of properties which in the past have been expressed qualitatively, namely, mechanical resistance and stages of maturation of vegetal tissues.The building and operation of the apparatus are described. The results obtained in the case of growing and adult cereal straws are given. These reveal some important features in the mechanical construction of the culms of grasses.
