Apparatus used for assessment of stem mechanical strength in wheat. A lab-based three-point bend test setup (a) allowed for the absolute strength traits, Fmax (the resistance of the stem sample to break under load) and F/V (the resistance of the stem sample to bend elastically), to be obtained (b). A field-based stem lodging risk measure was obtained using a pulley device (c)
