Discrimination of plant root zone water status in greenhouse production based on phenotyping and machine learning techniques

Abstract Plant-based sensing on water stress can provide sensitive and direct reference for precision irrigation system in greenhouse. However, plant information acquisition, interpretation, and systematical application remain insufficient. This study developed a discrimination method for plant root...
