Dr. Andrew McElrone's research defines improvements in the
Surface Renewal technique to more clearly evaluate the
relationship between real vineyard evapotranspiration and
traditional water status indicators such as midday leaf water
potential. This valuable information will assist in the
development of more efficient vine irrigation strategies and
potentially reduce labor costs. For more information visit
AVF.org or contact Dr. McElrone at ajmcelrone@ucdavis.edu.
