The ZIM-probes are very promising sensors for water management of olive orchards.
The inversion states of the ZIM-probes was highly and exponentially correlated with the Ψswp.
At variable conditions, the ZIM-probes inverted at Ψswp below about −2.5 MPa.
The ZIM-probes inversion detected high stress levels (strong gas exchanges reduction).
The increasing of the minimum daily values may be used to detect low stress levels.
