Difference in Canopy and Air Temperature as an Indicator of Grassland Water Stress

Bryant Canopy temperature variability as an indicator of crop water stress severity

Irrigation scheduling requires an operational means to quantify plant water stress. Remote sensing may offer quick measurements with regional coverage that cannot be achieved by current ground-based sampling techniques. This study explored the relation between variability in fine-resolution measurements of canopy temperature and crop water stress in cotton fields in Central Arizona, USA. Using ...

Water stress of sugarbeet as related to leaf and canopy temperatures and to leaf Water content

determination of crop water stress index for pistachio trees under subsurface drip irrigation using canopy-air temperature difference

this study was conducted to determine the possibility of a crop water stress index (cwsi) to schedule irrigation for pistachio tree under subsurface drip irrigation. the effects of two irrigation intervals consisting 3 (i3) and 14 (i14) days based on measuring soil water content were investigated on the cwsi. from 22 may (doy 143) to 22 september (doy 266), the evapotranspiration in i3 and i14 ...

Comparing canopy temperature and leaf water potential as irrigation scheduling criteria of potato in water-saving irrigation strategies

Irrigation scheduling is important in irrigation water management. In this study, full (FI),deficit (DI) and partial root drying (PRD) irrigation strategies were applied in Agria and Ramospotato cultivars. Canopy temperature (CT) and leaf water potential (LWP) were assessed as thepotential tools for irrigation scheduling during the vegetative and productive growth stages.LWP varied between ca. ...

Biochemical changes of Conocarpus erectus (combretaceae) in response to gas refinery air pollution as an air pollution indicator

Environmental pollution consists of different types of pollutants in air, soil, and water. Due to the fact that plants can respond to environmental pollution, they can be used as bio-indicators for environmental monitoring. Air pollution in areas with oil and gas refineries nearby is an important problem. This study aims to survey the effects of gas refinery air pollutants on Conocarpus erectus...
