活动简介

In horticulture, water has always been important and, in many cases, a rare resource. Improved methods to evaluate water use efficiency but also the actual water needs of plants are essential for better understanding of horticultural production.

Also in postharvest, water is an important aspect. Excessive water losses may lead to unnecessary loss of freshness, increased waste and hence economic and social problems. Again, comprehensive understanding of basics of plant water status may help to better optimise postharvest condition during harvest, in storage and also during processing. Certainly, the precise knowledge of the physiological basics of all aspects of plants water status is essential but also knowledge and experiences on measuring techniques are targets for the agricultural community.

The present symposium will provide a platform to exchange findings on established and new methods - considering the fundamentals of the methodology as well as helpful hints achieved in applications.

征稿范围

The ISHS symposium on sensing plant water status will cover the following topics:

Methods:

Water potential and its components (pressure bomb, psychrometry,…, cell pressure probe,…, pressure volume analysis, …)
In situ measurements (dendrometry, sap flow,…., thermography, gas exchange, eddy correlation,….)
Hydraulic conductance (cavitation, embolism, ….)
Tomographic measurements (MRI, CNT,….)
Soil water status (soil water potential, TDR,….)
Modelling (up scaling from cell to tissue, from leaf to canopy, from canopy to orchard)

Applications:

Physiological processes (soil–plant interactions, water uptake, water status, water flow in plants, modelling vs. measurements)
Quality/Process control (water status as indicator of produce quality, water status as indicator of process quality)
Stress detection (drought stress indication, heat stress, ...)
Irrigation (new approaches for phytomonitoring, controlling deficit irrigation, …)
Financial aspects of efficient irrigation management
Irrigation and landscape – lowering the relevant blueprint
