AB - A completely, automated weighing system was built to facilitate large numbers of repetitive wheat‐leaf weighings required in a drought program (wheat: Triticum aestivumL.). Leaf samples (up to 265) were clipped to holders suspended from hangers on a conveyor chain. The samples were then repetitively weighed (three samples per minute) throughout the day to determine individual water‐loss rates. An inexpensive microcomputer controlled all operations including movement of the conveyor chain, transfer of samples to and from the balance, taring and weighing operations, and data storage. With minor modifications this weighing system can be easily applied to other types of routine weighing needed in agricultural research.
