How do you obtain dry mass of a seedling?
To obtain the dry mass of a seedling, first carefully remove the seedling from the soil or growth medium. Next, gently pat the seedling with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Then, place the seedling in an oven set to a low temperature (around 60-70°C) for a few hours until the seedling reaches a constant weight, indicating that all moisture has been removed. Finally, weigh the seedling to determine its dry mass.
