 Radius Dendrometer (Type DR)

For measuring changes in radius. Suitable for diameters>8 cm.
The stem is injured by two screws.

 
Diameter Dendrometer (Type DD)


For measuring changes in diameter. Suitable for diameter<20 cm
(>20 cm on request). No injury to plant.
The frame can be reduced to meet any size of plant.
Circumference Denrometer (Type DC)


For measuring changes in circumference of stem and fruit.
Suitable for diameter>2 cm, no injury to plant. Very light, a complete sensor without cable is only 16 g.

Fruit and Vegetable Dendrometer (Type DF)


For measuring changes in diameter of fruits, vegetables and cereals.
Suitable for diameter<11 cm (>11 cm on request), The anti-move system ensures the centered position of the object, no injury, the frame can be reduced to meet any small size of plants.

 
Vertical Dendrometer (Type DV)

For measuring vertical variation of one section of plant stem. The data reflect important parameters of plant physiology:

1) The variation of water content in the plant body and xylem water potential, respectively;


2) The variation of plant orientation during growth. If using three DV, the effects of water potential and of plant orientation can be separately detected.
Type DD Diameter Dendrometer DF Fruit Dendrometer DR Radius Dendrometer DC Circumference Dendrometer DV Vertical Dendrometer
