Fruit and Vegetable Dendrometer (DF)
The DF is the special dendrometer version for measurements on circular fruiting bodies. The fruit in the measuring frame is firmly fixed without affecting its growth. The frame sustains the weight of the target and relives the peduncle.
Advantages
Suitable for diameter between 0 and 11 cm (other size on request)
Fruits do not have to bear the weight of the dendrometers
Measures diameter changes
Assessment of the time point of ripeness for softening fruit and vegetable types
No Injury to fruits
Minimal load on the target
Stability against wind, snow, falling small branches and small fruits
Limits
Not suitable for oversoft fruit types (such as ripe raspberries)
Delivery
Complete with 5 m cable
Fixing materials and installation tools (wrench)
Options / Ordering Information
