Water availability is endangering the production, quality, and economic viability of growing
wine grapes worldwide. Climate change projections reveal warming and drying trends for …

The increasing world population and expected climate scenarios impel the agricultural
sector towards a more efficient use of water. The scientific community is responding to that …

Irrigation is critical to sustain agricultural productivity in dry or semi-dry environments, and
center pivots, due to their versatility and ruggedness, are the most widely used irrigation …

This research aims at testing an automatic control irrigation system, using a wireless sensor
network, in traditional Galician vineyards of Vitis vinifera (L.) cv.'Godello'and cv.'Mencía'to …

Leaf water potential is a critical indicator of plant water status, integrating soil moisture
status, plant physiology, and environmental conditions. There are few tools for measuring …

Global climate change presents a threat for the environment, and it is aggravated by the
mismanagement of water use in the agricultural sector. Since plants are the intermediate …

In this paper we describe a non-invasive method of measuring leaf water content using THz
radiation and combine this with psychrometry for determination of leaf pressure–volume …

Maize grown is affected by water stress reducing photosynthetic rate and availability of water
in its tissues, decreasing plant yield. Monitoring plant water potential is an important …

In this work, we studied the properties of acoustic guided waves travelling through plant
leaves under water stress. We used a laser-based ultrasound technique to study the …

We report physiological, anatomical and molecular differences in two economically
important grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) cultivars cv. Grenache (near-isohydric) and …
