Prediction of Grape Sap Flow in a Greenhouse Based on Random Forest and Partial Least Squares Models

Understanding variations in sap flow rates and the environmental factors that influence sap flow is important for exploring grape water consumption patterns and developing reasonable greenhouse irrigation schedules. Three irrigation levels were established in this study: adequate irrigation (W1), mo...
