The author developed a new apparatus BSTW-1 to measure the breaking strength and compared the measurements of the breaking strength of plastic straws, wheat and rice culms using BSTW-1 and EO-3. It was concluded that BSTW-1 was more convenient and more useful to measure the breaking strength in studies on lodging resistance. Also, the number of samples required to measure the breaking strength at the basal part of the rice culm was discussed.
