RESEARCH PAPER: Water status assessment in grapevines using plant electrophysiology

Discover a groundbreaking approach to real-time water status assessment in grapevines. Traditional methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, but this study introduces plant electrophysiology as an accurate, reliable alternative. By combining machine learning with electrophysiological measurements, we can now predict vine water status more accurately and efficiently. This provides farmers worldwide with a promising tool for better irrigation management and agronomic strategies

The project has received funding as part of the AGRARSENSE project from the Chips Joint Undertaking (JU) under Grant Agreement No 101095835 and is supported by the Swiss Confederation (State Secretariat for Education Research and Innovation SERI and the Federal Office for Agriculture FOAG) and the Chips Joint Undertaking and its members, including top-up funding by national funding authorities of Sweden, Czechia, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, and Spain. The post-doc of Esteban Alfonso was partly founded by the Swiss National Science Fondation (Grant number IZCOC0_189896). We also would like to thank Arnaud Pernet for technical support regarding the climate chambers.
