Abstract: In three experiments with spring barley cultivars yield differences between cultivars were different for plots and drilled strips, and in breeders' plots the differences depended on whether they were harvested with a large or small header. Breeders' plots yielded about 44% more than drilled strips or 8% less than drilled. Strips of path area were allowed for. A small harvester was less efficient than a large one. There was no significant seasonal variation in yield with ‘Zephyr’ barley in drilled strips, but in breeders' plots there were significant yield differences
