Suitable indicators using stem diameter variation-derived indices to monitor the water status of greenhouse tomato plants.

It is very important to seek a simple nondestructive method to continuously measure plant water status for irrigation scheduling. Changes in stem diameter in response to plant water status and soil water content (SWC) were experimentally investigated during the growing seasons of 2011/2012 and 2012/...
