Review of Plant Water Status Measurement Techniques

Abstract

The growth of the plant largely depends on the available water and soil. Soil supports the plant in mechanical ways and acts as a nutrient reservoir for its growth. Not only for plants but also for all living things, water plays a significant role in the life process. For a tree grower, knowing the relationship and techniques of measurement of plant, soil, and water help to improve their management system as well as the efficiency of crop production in a given area. Besides, it helps to know the relative water status of planted tree species. Therefore, this paper provides general information about seven plant water status measurements.
