| Abstract:
This paper describes a method for measuring the transpiration rate of a greenhouse crop. It shows how a commercially available balance can be adapted to permit accurate measurement of the transpiration on a time basis of a few minutes. Of course, such an application, based on a relatively cheap device, is not without problems. We discuss here some of the problems we had to face and show some of the results we got. | |
