Measuring Water Potential in Plants Measuring plant water potential in plants refers to assessing the force by which water within the plant is "pulled" or "held" based on the pressure differences in various parts of the plant. Water potential is crucial for understanding water dynamics in plants, as it allows for assessing the plant's ability to absorb water from the soil, transport it to...

The purpose of organic farming is not to negate and reject the positive achievements of conventional agriculture, but to find better environmental solutions where it is most needed. Organic agriculture is a part of modern agricultural production, trade and agronomic science and it is based on its latest knowledge and achievements.Organic (ecological, biological) agriculture is the production...

The degree days represents accumulated heat energy over a period of time. Heat is one of the most important factors in the plant and animal world. Considering the fact that the heat cannot be measured, while the temperature can, a model of degree day has been developed. The accumulated air temperature over a period of time determines the growth and development of plants.  To use the...

Simply put, the temperature sum represents accumulated heat energy over a period of time. Heat is one of the most important factors in the plant and animal world. Considering the fact that the heat can not be measured, while the temperature can, a model of effective temperature sums has been developed. The accumulated air temperature over a period of time determines the growth and development of...

All life forms on Earth depend on water. Water is constantly absorbed or excreted and holds various physiological and biochemical functions. Depending on water needs, plants and their parts differ. When focusing on limiting factors for growth and development of a plant, water is considered one of the biggest and most important factors due to the fact that plants need relatively large amounts of...

Soil moisture information is essential for creating precise irrigation schedules and amounts. Global trends in irrigation aim to determine the exact amount of water required for the uninterrupted growth and development of plants without reducing yields. Various methods are used to determine the current moisture level in the soil. Soil moisture determination methods: Visual Gravimetric...

Precision agriculture implies timely execution of agricultural works with high productivity, reduced number of operations and minimal work cost. All mentioned is possible only if we are making decisions while handling with a great deal of information. Processing a lot of various data is fundamental in precision agriculture. The approach in which the decision maker has comprehensive information...
