As evaporation of water is an energy-demanding process, increasing evapotranspiration
rates decrease the surface temperature (Ts) of leaves and plants. Based on this principle …

Precise irrigation is essential in arid and semi-arid areas where water is scarce. This has
impelled the scientific community to develop new technologies for scheduling irrigation. Of …

In all studies of the effects of water deficits on plant functioning there is a need for an
accurate and comprehensive definition of treatments and their effects on plant water status …

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 …

The use of trunk diameter fluctuations and their derived parameters for irrigation scheduling
in woody crops is reviewed. The strengths and weaknesses of these continuously measured …

Dendrometers are instruments which are used to measure the diameters of trees. This
review considers the use of dendrometers with high spatial and temporal precision in past …

Four strategies of deficit irrigation based on a different water-stress ratio (WSR) applied in
each phenological stage, and a control treatment were implemented in 11-year-old citrus …

Irrigation scheduling of fruit trees according to the water balance showed significant
differences between locations. In recent years, water status measurements such as leaf …

The sensitivity of continuous (on a whole-day basis) and discretely (at midday) measured
indicators of the plant water status in adult lemon trees in response to a cycle of water …
