Abstract

The stress-day index is a concept whereby plant-water stress is characterized quantitatively. Its formulation consists of the product of a stress-day factor and a crop-susceptibility factor. The stress-day factor is an indication of the water deficit experienced by a crop. The crop-susceptibility factor is an indication of the tendency of the crop to be adversely affected by water deficit during a particular period of growth. The stress-day index is designed to correlate highly with crop yield.
