Zusammenfassung:A system for evaluating irrigation condition in crops uses thermal imagery. The system includes at least one thermal imagery system configured for thermal mapping of an area, at least one water potential detector configured for measuring water potential in a plant stem in which it is installed and transmitting data indicative of its measurements, and a central unit. The central unit is configured to receive thermal imaging data indicative of acquired crop temperature maps, receive data from the at least one water potential detector and process the received data to evaluate irrigation condition of the crop using the data from the at least one water potential detector reference to calibrate the data from the thermal imagery system.
