Assessing water stress in a high-density apple orchard using trunk circumference variation, sap flow index and stem water potential

IntroductionAutomated plant-based measurements of water stress have the potential to advance precision irrigation in orchard crops. Previous studies have shown correlations between sap flow, line variable differential transform (LVDT) dendrometers and fruit tree drought response. Here we report seas...
