Description

Fresh plant tissue is collected during peak hydration, weighed fresh, dried at controlled temperature, then reweighed to calculate water content as the difference between wet and dry weights.

Typical Equipment

  • scale
  • drying oven
  • coin envelopes
  • plastic bags
  • cooler

Output Measurements

  • tissue water content (grams)
  • tissue water content (percentage)
