Olive Crown Porosity Measurement Based on Radiation Transmittance: An Assessment of Pruning Effect

Olive Crown Porosity Measurement Based on Radiation Transmittance: An Assessment of Pruning Effect

Crown porosity influences radiation interception, air movement through the fruit orchard, spray penetration, and harvesting operation in fruit crops. The aim of the present study was to develop an accurate and reliable methodology based on transmitted radiation measurements to assess the porosity of...
