This study assesses the usefulness of the remote scheduling of regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) in almond based on the maximum daily trunk shrinkage signal intensity (SIMDS). The 2-year experiment was carried out in SE Spain on 12-year-old almond trees (Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb cv....

Maximum daily trunk shrinkage is a common measurement in irrigation scheduling of fruit trees. But the strong relationship between these measurements and the environment severely limit field applications. Reference baselines are the solution for understanding the influence of environmental...

Irrigation scheduling based on soil water moisture sensors requires that the soil water status be maintained within a range that is optimal for plant growth. The objective of this work was to evaluate whether soil water content dynamics, measured by multi-sensor capacitance probes, could be used...
