Other claims from this paper (5)
- Method / resource The load cell reading closely fit mean whole-vine transpiration over 27 mostly clear days.
- Method / resource The same regressions on mostly cloudy days kept a similar accuracy.
- Method / resource Once referred to diurnal data on clear or cloudy days, the load cell sensor showed high accuracy.
- Method / resource The sensor costs about 12 euros per unit.
- Recommendation Deeper evaluation of the sensor is encouraged for phenology, cultivar and water supply levels.
