1. Evaluation of the Sensor Suite for Detection of Plant Water Stress in Orchard and Vineyard CropsA mobile sensor suite was developed and evaluated to predict plant water status by measuring the leaf temperature of nut trees and grapevines. It consists of an infrared thermometer to measure leaf temperature along with relevant ambient condition sensors to measure microclimatic variables in the vicinity of the leaf. Sensor suite was successfully evaluated in three crops (almonds, walnuts and grapevines) for both sunlit and shaded leaves. Stepwise linear regression models developed for shaded... R. Dhillon, V.

2. Precision Agriculture Practices for Sustaining Productivity and Profitability in Reclaimed Sodic Soils in Northwest IndiaIndo-gangetic alluvial plain comprising of Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh states is a food bowl of India. These states contribute significant quantity of food grains particularly rice and wheat to the central pool. However, in the recent past, the productivity of the dominant rice-wheat cropping system in reclaimed alkali (sodic) soils is either stagnating or decreasing with the associated problems of declining water table levels, decreasing levels of organic matter in the soil, nutrient imbalance,...
