  • Methods and Systems for Detecting Water Status in Plants Using Terahertz Radiation
    Publication number: 20230003642
    Abstract: Methods and systems for determining water status in plant tissue are provided. A number of systems are capable of using terahertz signals to generate signals measuring total water content in plant tissue, including plant leaves. Using these signals, methods are capable of determining water status variables, including water mass per leaf area, relative water content, and leaf water potential, which can aid in agricultural, ecological, and environmental health, such as dehydration and droughst stress of plants.
