e0“The CWSI was a useful indicator of red clover water stress status and can be used to schedule clover seed irrigations under typical western Oregon climatic conditions”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Root disease in 1991 accompanied lower use of available soil water.
- Observation Seed production water-use efficiency was lower in 1991 than 1990.
- Observation Two non-stressed canopy temperature baselines related to leaf senescence and crop aging were identified.
- Association CWSI was negatively associated with plant water potential.
- Observation CWSI values were similar for similar treatments in both years.
- Association CWSI increased faster than the fraction of available soil water used.
- Method / resource CWSI detected changes due to root disease unlike soil water fraction.
- Intervention effect A single irrigation at CWSI ≈0.28 substantially increased seed yield over no irrigation.
