Abstract

Of the techniques available for the measurement of water potentials in plant storage organs, most are inconvenient and unsatisfactory for field use. The dye method, a densiometric technique, has been developed for the measurement of apple fruit water potentials in the field. A description of the technique is given. Provided precautions relating to fruit exposure, equilibration time and fruit insertion height are observed, the technique appears to be satisfactory for field use.
