Abstract The crop water stress index (CWSI) is a valuable tool for monitoring and quantifying water stress as well as for irrigation scheduling. A field experiment was conducted during spring and summer 2012 at Research Station of College of Agriculture and Natural Resources of Darab, Shiraz University, Iran, to determine CWSI of  turfgrass for irrigation scheduling. Four levels of water regime...

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the crop water stress index (CWSI), grain yield and canopy temperature of triticale under two irrigation regimes at Research Station of College of Agriculture and Natural Resources of Darab, Shiraz University, in 2013. A split plot design was used with three triticale cultivars (Sanabad, ET-83-3, and ET-84-5), as sub-plots and four levels of irrigati...

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 ...

Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) has earned recognition as a significant crop due to its unique nutrient composition and adaptability the growing threat of climate change. Consequently, utilization remote sensing techniques for non-invasive pistachio monitoring become critically important. This research was conducted in two orchards located Spain, aiming assess effectiveness vegetation indices (VIs...

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 ...

Abstract In order to evaluate crop water stress index (CWSI) and canopy temperature of wheat cultivars under terminal drought stress, a field experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station of Shiraz University, Shiraz, during 2009 growing season. Five wheat cultivars including Shiraz, Bahar, Pishtaz, Sistan and Yavaros and four levels of water regime including well watering [Irr...

Over the past few decades, the competition for freshwater resources has substantially increased in arid/semi-arid areas, exacerbating the pressure on the largest user of water, namely agriculture, to consume less water. However, reducing crop consumptive water use or evapotranspiration through water stress can have a negative impact on production economics if not precisely managed. Remote sensi...
