Popis: It is important to understand the characteristics of grafted seedlings during the acclimation process, especially the moisture content inside the scion, which depends on the balance between transpiration and supply from the stock. The joining rate between the scion and the stock can be done effectively by measuring the wilting rate of a grafted seedling. The wilting behavior of the seedlings was non linear. An attempt was made to model this behavĩor after the balance equation of a spring-mass system, using a synthetic spring coefficient as the variable. The wilting behaviors of different seedlings were successfully identified.
