Water Deficit Affects the Growth and Leaf Metabolite Composition of Young Loquat Plants

open access: yesPlants, 2020
Water scarcity in the Mediterranean area is very common and understanding responses to drought is important for loquat management and production. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of drought on the growth and metabolism of loquat ...

Vision-Based Xylem Wetness Classification in Stem Water Potential Determination

open access: yes
Water is often overused in irrigation, making efficient management of it crucial. Precision Agriculture emphasizes tools like stem water potential (SWP) analysis for better plant status determination. However, such tools often require labor-intensive in-situ sampling.

Wheat Maintains Stem Water Potential During Drought Stress Despite Declining Osmotic Potential

open access: yesPhysiologia Plantarum
ABSTRACT Plant water potential is one of the most frequently measured variables of plant water status. Stem water potential, often approximated by wrapping the leaves, is assumed to be more stable and a better measure of drought stress than leaf water potential. In wheat (

Determining the water status of olive trees using microtensiometer sensors, on-ground and proximal sensing observations under Mediterranean climate conditions

open access: yesAgricultural Water Management
Determining tree water status in the field is essential for implementing precision irrigation strategies. This study evaluated the performance of microtensiometer sensors (MTs) in a commercial olive orchard located in the province of Castellón, Spain, by

Relationships Between Midday Stem Water Potential and Soil Water Content in Grapevines and Peach and Pear Trees

open access: yesAgronomy
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

Terrestrial and Remote Indexes to Assess Moderate Deficit Irrigation in Early-Maturing Nectarine Trees

open access: yesAgronomy, 2019
Monitoring plant water status is relevant for the sustainable management of irrigation under water deficit conditions. Two treatments were applied to an early-maturing nectarine orchard: control (well irrigated) and precise deficit irrigation (PDI, based

Data Mining and NIR Spectroscopy in Viticulture: Applications for Plant Phenotyping under Field Conditions

open access: yesSensors, 2016
Plant phenotyping is a very important topic in agriculture. In this context, data mining strategies may be applied to agricultural data retrieved with new non-invasive devices, with the aim of yielding useful, reliable and objective information.

Branch Orientation: A Potential Indicator of Stem Rehydration and Water Stress

open access: yesHydrological Processes
ABSTRACT Spring rehydration in snow‐covered temperate forests marks a key ecohydrological transition, influencing forest productivity and water balance. Tree water deficit is a key ecohydrological indicator about above ground water status and response to subsurface water availability.
