Summary
Plants of two barley cultivars, differing in requirement for N, were grown in water culture at combinations of stressing and non-stressing rates of N supply. At all N regimes, Kajsa, the cultivar with the lowest N requirement. produced more dry matter and used N more efficiently than Hellas. For both cultivars the morphological development was strongly influenced by the N supply, mainly seen as effects on tillering. Under N stress, tillering was more inhibited in Kajsa than Hellas. At higher rates of N supply Kajsa formed fewer, but on average large tillers than Hellas.
