Description: Moisture transfer through the external surfaces and between the parts of cut, mature wheat plants (moisture content 7-18% wet basis) was measured in a controlled-environment chamber. Moisture adsorption through the outer surface of bare internodes was rapid, equilibrium was reached within about 5 h. Moisture transfer through the lumen and sheared ends was much slower. The leaf sheath had only a slight effect on moisture adsorption by the stem. Nodes did not significantly affect the moisture transfer along the wheat stem. There was moisture movement between the spike and the stem but it was quite small com pared with direct transfer between the spike and the surrounding air.
