American Potato Journal Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A low cost, pocket size, specific gravity calculator has been developed that will convert weight in air and weight in water values directly to specific gravity. This calculator is eminently suitable for use in the field and has been developed for use by potato growers in a research project involving specific gravity determinations of developing tubers.
