abstract = "Stem water potential (SWP) is accepted as an accurate indicator of water status in trees for irrigation scheduling. However, considering the pressure chamber's low capacity and labor-intensive nature, more effective methods are currently being sought. Measurement of SWP at the vapor phase by psychrometry has been reported since the 1980s, with limited acceptance in practice. A newer approach to SWP measurement at the fluid phase with a membrane osmometer has lately been developed and tested. Laboratory calibrated osmometric sensors were embedded in peach and tangerine trees and their pressure chamber showed comparable SWP values and diurnal patterns, albeit with a few hours delay. The results have opened the way to a new type of sensor development and have strengthened the validity of the fluid-to-fluid contact SWP measurement principle.",
