Sapflow sensor
Relationship between crop water 7
But, we can’t measure the water stress of whole area in a field by using leaf
porometer or sapflow sensor.
I think the best way is the sensing of leaf temperature.

LAI sensor
The value of LAI is important in the
meteorological approach.
LAI effects both of the soil heat flux
(G) estimation which is needed to
calculate hourly ET and the crop
coefficient (Kc) estimation.
I’m currently trying to estimate LAI
by using spectral sensor that I
made it using Micon.
Micon is useful for our researches! 36
