Dawn leaf water potential (dawn
), leaf water potential (leaf
) and stem water potential (stem
) were measured on mature leaves to determine non-irrigated vine water status in vineyards during the growing season. Stem
was the most discriminating indicator for both moderate and severe water deficits. The difference between stem
and leaf
(
) provided an indirect measurement of mean leaf transpiration which varied with soil moisture conditions and vapour pressure deficit in the atmosphere. The use of stem
as an indicator for grapevine management in both non-irrigated and irrigated vineyards is discussed. Copyright 2001 Annals of Botany Company
