Abstract :
Objective: The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of thermal imaging and infrared sensing techniques in understanding various physiological and ecophysiological processes in plants. By utilizing these non-invasive tools, researchers aim to gain insights into plant responses to environmental factors, stress conditions, and overall plant health. Materials and Methods: A review of existing literature on the use of thermal imaging and infrared sensing in plant physiology and ecophysiology was conducted. The review examined experimental studies, observational approaches, and technological advancements in the field. Discussions on sensor selection, data acquisition techniques, and data analysis methods were also included. Results and Discussion : Thermal imaging and infrared sensing have become valuable tools in plant physiology and ecophysiology research, allowing for measurement and analysis of various plant parameters non-destructively. These techniques enable researchers to study plant responses to changing environmental conditions, including stress responses such as drought, heat, and disease, as well as assessing the efficiency of management practices. Conclusions: This study offers a thorough review of the use of thermal imaging and infrared sensing in plant physiology and ecophysiology. By analyzing existing literature, the study examines the methodologies, findings, and potential benefits of these techniques in studying plant responses to environmental factors. The findings can be a useful tool for researchers, shaping future research and aiding in the advancement of sustainable plant management practices.
