Abstract
A method of determining a plant's biomass includes three steps, namely establishing an X-ray photograph of the plant, establishing an absorption characteristic of the plant in an X-ray photograph, and determining the plant's biomass by means of the absorption characteristic of the plant. Said determining is based on a predetermined relation between a reference absorption characteristic and a reference biomass.
