Abstract:In this paper, we identified and modelled the short-term response of leaf water content to water temperature in hydroponic tomato plants using a neural network. Leaf water content was estimated from leaf thickness using an eddy current-type displacement sensor. Dynamic changes in the leaf water content of the tomato plants, as affected by water temperatures, was identified and modelled using a neural network. A three-layered neural network with optimal system order and hidden neuron number allowed nonlinearity… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
