MONITORING XYLEM SAP IN SUGARCANE THROUGH TDR
Simione, Júlia Rodrigues; Pavão, Gláucia Cristina; Souza, Claudinei FonsecaThe TDR can be used to measure water content and nutrients in several media with a potential to monitor the xylem sap flow in plants. The objective of this study was to determine whether there is a correlation between the xylem sap content and water available in the soil for sugarcane cultivation using TDR. The study was conducted in a protected environment with eight boxes (500 L). The boxes were divided into ...
TDR PROBES CONSTRUCTION AND EVALUATION FOR ESTIMATING SAP FLOW IN WOODY PLANTS
Pavão, Glaucia Cristina; Simione, Júlia Rodrigues; Souza, Claudinei FonsecaThe efficient water application in agriculture involves modern equipment and appropriate management of this resource. The water amount absorbed for crop can be determined by measuring xylem sap flow and, Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technique has potential to be accurate and virtually free of interference. Thus, the objective of this study was TDR probes construction and evaluation of different sizes that co...
