Description The hydraulic press was compared with the dew point psychrometer and the pressure chamber methods for measuring leaf water potential (Ψ) in groundnuts (Arachis hypogaea L.). For measurements on the same leaf, regression analysis revealed that the slopes did not differ significantly from unity. An analysis of functional relations between measurements made by the press and the dew point psychrometer or the press and the pressure chamber showed that the error variance of the press was similar to those of the two other methods. Therefore, we conclude that for groundnuts the performance of the press, the dew point psychrometer and the pressure chamber are similar.
