The irrigation surface of olive orchards has increased over recent decades. In zones affected, deficit irrigation scheduling is a must. The aim of this work was to study water stress management based on reference equations for midday stem water potential.

Midday stem water potential as a useful tool for estimating irrigation requirements in olive trees [PDF]
Irrigation scheduling of fruit trees according to the water balance showed significant differences between locations. In recent years, water status measurements such as leaf water potential have been suggested as irrigation tools in different fruit trees.

Establishing a Reference Baseline for Midday Stem Water Potential in Olive and Its Use for Plant-Based Irrigation Management [PDF]
Midday stem water potential (SWP) is rapidly becoming adopted as a standard tool for plant-based irrigation management in many woody perennial crops. A reference or “baseline” SWP has been used in some crops (almond, prune, grape, and walnut) to account ...

Monitoring the water status of fruit orchards is required to optimize crop water management and determine irrigation scheduling. For this purpose, capacitance probes are commonly used to measure soil water content (θs). However, when these probes are not

Sustainable table grape production depends on efficient water supply. Water potential is a useful indicator of water constraints in grapevines. In this regard, midday stem water potential (ΨS) is considered to be a better indicator of grapevine water status than leaf water potential (ΨL).

Performance Assessment of Thermal Infrared Cameras of Different Resolutions to Estimate Tree Water Status from Two Cherry Cultivars: An Alternative to Midday Stem Water Potential and Stomatal Conductance [PDF]
The midday stem water potential (Ψs) and stomatal conductance (gs) have been traditionally used to monitor the water status of cherry trees (Prunus avium L.). Due to the complexity of direct measurement, the use of infrared thermography has been proposed as an alternative.

Irrigation of Table Grapes With Refill Lines Set According to Midday Stem Water Potential - Soil Water Content and Seasonal Evapotranspiration [PDF]
Irrigation water is a limited resource in most table grape regions. Furthermore, agriculture competes with urban and industrial needs for water. If climate change reduces rainfall, it could put water resources under even more pressure. Therefore, table grape growers must use their available water efficiently by implementing sound irrigation scheduling ...

Combining thermal imaging and soil water content sensors to assess tree water status in pear trees
Volumetric soil water content is commonly used for irrigation management in fruit trees. By integrating direct information on tree water status into measurements of soil water content, we can improve detection of water stress and irrigation scheduling ...

Correlations among Predawn Leaf, Midday Leaf, and Midday Stem Water Potential and their Correlations with other Measures of Soil and Plant Water Status in Vitis vinifera [PDF]
A study was conducted to compare three measurements of determining water status of grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.) in the field. Predawn leaf water potential (ΨPD), midday leaf water potential (Ψl), and midday stem water potential (Ψstem) were measured on `Chardonnay' and `Cabernet Sauvignon' grapevines grown in Napa Valley, California late in the 1999 ...

The classification of grapevine cultivars into isohydric and anisohydric categories depends on their ability to close stomata under conditions of low soil water availability or high atmospheric demand.
