In April 2016 Manchester eScholar was replaced by the University of Manchester’s new Research Information Management System, Pure. In the autumn the University’s research outputs will be available to search and browse via a new Research Portal. Until then the University’s full publication record can be accessed via a temporary portal and the old eScholar content is available to search and browse via this archive.

Abstract

A method of detecting the presence of a node (12) within a stem (10) of a plant, the method comprising making two measurements of a component of the electrical impedance of the stem (10), wherein a first measurement is made at a first location along the stem (10) and a second measurement is made at a second location along the stem (10), comparing the first measured component of the electrical impedance and the second measured component of the electrical impedance to produce a resultant output, and analysing the resultant output in order to determine the presence of a node or otherwise at the first location or the second location.
