How to measure tomato seedling height and diameter for research purpose ?

13 May 2020 1 635 Report

I am performing research on tomato seedling for which I need to measure the seedling height ( root length + shoot length ) and diameter. Is there any procedure we should follow to measure the root length of seedling and also from which point should we measure the seedling diameter?

Aditya Banerjee

For measuring height, use a calibrated measuring scale. For measuring diameter you can make a cross section and measure the diameter under a microscope.
