Abstract
A detailed study was made of the tillering of barley plants grown at densities which ranged from 50 to 1600 plants m–2. Throughout the season the initiation of tiller buds and their growth in length and leaf number were followed, and measurements were made of leaf sheath and lamina length and lamina width. A proportion of tillers died and their positions and times of death are given.
