Hi everyone,I am reaserch scientist from Italy interested in viticulture and floor management. We have established vineyards with different ground covers (Perennial ryegrass, Tall fescue, Red fescue ecc.) and I have the urgent need to measure water loss by the grass (to be able to quantify competition with grapes). Any idea about the best (non descructive) method?Will appreciate any help. Thanks.
