Abstract
To provide a vascular sap measurement sensor in which a flow channel that receives incoming flow of vascular sap is unlikely to be blocked by tissues of a plant. A vascular sap measurement sensorincludes: a trapping probefor trapping vascular sap; and a supportthat supports the trapping probe. A trapping flow channelthat receives incoming flow of the vascular sap is formed in the trapping probe. The trapping flow channelhas an inlet openingformed on a side surface of the trapping probe. This makes it unlikely that the trapping flow channelwill be blocked by tissues of a plant when sticking the trapping probeinto the plant.
