Plant Stem Strength Tester for Crop Stalk Strength Testing
A specialist stem bending force tester and plant compression strength tester with 50N force gauge test stand.
NottiTikTok is a UK-focused specialist supplier of agricultural testing instruments designed for researchers who need more than a generic force gauge. Our range is selected around real crop science workflows, helping agronomy teams, plant breeders and university technicians generate dependable data for lodging resistance, stem biomechanics and variety comparison.
We concentrate on practical instruments that suit delicate-to-moderate plant materials, where sensitivity, control and repeatability matter. That means purpose-led solutions for wheat, barley, rice, oilseed rape and similar crops, supported by clear specifications, test stand compatibility and procurement-ready documentation.
Unlike broad catalogue sellers, we present each instrument in the context of how it is actually used in UK crop trials and lab work. From stem bending and compression assessments to puncture-style measurements, our approach is built to help buyers justify purchases internally and standardise testing methods across teams.
For universities, research institutes and commercial agronomy departments, NottiTikTok offers a more credible route to specialist crop testing equipment: fast UK fulfilment, transparent warranty cover, and product content grounded in agricultural application rather than generic industrial metrology.

How to Use
- Position the tester on a stable bench or mobile field-lab surface and confirm the stand is level.
- Select the correct fixture for bending, compression or puncture-style stem testing.
- Prepare crop samples to a consistent length and diameter, then record cultivar, moisture status and growth stage.
- Mount the stem carefully so the contact point and travel direction are aligned with your protocol.
- Zero the gauge, apply force at a controlled rate using the stand, and record peak force at failure or target deformation.
- Repeat across replicates to compare lodging resistance, treatment effects or varietal differences.
What Our Customers Say
Compiled from marketplace feedback and product research signals.
We bought this for lodging-resistance work in winter wheat and the test stand has made a real difference to repeatability. Peak force readings are far more consistent than with the hand-held gauge we used previously.
Used across barley and oilseed rape stems in our agronomy programme. The 50N range is spot on for these samples and the setup feels much more suitable than generic force meters marketed for everything.
We needed a plant stem strength tester with clear procurement detail for a university purchase. The calibration traceability and documentation were exactly what our lab manager asked for.
Solid instrument and accurate enough for our rice stem bending trials. The only minor drawback is that sample preparation needs to be very consistent, but that is true of most stem mechanics work.
Compared with a cheaper competitor listing, this was the first product page that actually explained puncture and compression use properly. That gave us confidence it would suit our crop phenotyping workflow.
Very good crop stalk strength tester for bench work and easy to train technicians on. I would have liked an extra fixture included as standard, but the main stand and gauge performance are excellent.
