Non-contact and non-destructive sensing methods can be used to detect the level of water stress in plants continuously and to provide automatic sensing and controls. This research aimed at determining the viability, efficiency, and swiftness in employing the commercial Workswell WIRIS Agro R infrared camera (WWARIC) in monitoring water stress and scheduling appropriate irrigation regimes in mandarin plants. The experiment used a four-by-three randomized complete block design with 80\u2013100% FC water treatment as full field capacity and three deficit irrigation treatments at 70\u201375% FC, 60\u201365% FC, and 50\u201355% FC. Air temperature, canopy temperature, and vapor pressure deficits were measured and employed to deduce the empirical crop water stress index, using the Idso approach (CWSI(Idso)) as well as baseline equations to calculate non-water stress and water stressed conditions. The relative leaf water content (RLWC) of mandarin plants was also determined for the growing season. From the experiment, CWSI(Idso) and CWSI were estimated using the Workswell Wiris Agro R infrared camera (CWSIW) and showed a high correlation (R2 = 0.75 at p &lt; 0.05) in assessing the extent of water stress in mandarin plants. The results also showed that at an altitude of 12 m above the mandarin canopy, the WWARIC was able to identify water stress using three modes (empirical, differential, and theoretical). The WWARIC\u2019s color map feature, presented in real time, makes the camera a suitable device, as there is no need for complex computations or expert advice before determining the extent of the stress the crops are subjected to. The results prove that this novel use of the WWARIC demonstrated sufficient precision, swiftness, and intelligibility in the real-time detection of the mandarin water stress index and, accordingly, assisted in scheduling irrigation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22114018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,31]],"date-time":"2022-05-31T02:30:06Z","timestamp":1653964206000},"page":"4018","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Real-Time Assessment of Mandarin Crop Water Stress Index"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Sadick Amoakohene","family":"Appiah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Water Conservancy and Civil Engineering, South China Agricultural University, No. 483, Wushan Road, Tianhe District, Guangzhou 510642, China"}]},{"given":"Jiuhao","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Water Conservancy and Civil Engineering, South China Agricultural University, No. 483, Wushan Road, Tianhe District, Guangzhou 510642, China"}]},{"given":"Yubin","family":"Lan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering, National Center for International Collaboration Research on Precision Agricultural Aviation Pesticides Spraying Technology (NPAAC), South China Agricultural University, No. 483, Wushan Road, Tianhe District, Guangzhou 510642, China"}]},{"given":"Ransford Opoku","family":"Darko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural Engineering, University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast PMB, Ghana"}]},{"given":"Kelvin Edom","family":"Alordzinu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Water Conservancy and Civil Engineering, South China Agricultural University, No. 483, Wushan Road, Tianhe District, Guangzhou 510642, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7463-6592","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alaa","family":"Al Aasmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Water Conservancy and Civil Engineering, South China Agricultural University, No. 483, Wushan Road, Tianhe District, Guangzhou 510642, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3116-6356","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Evans","family":"Asenso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural Engineering, University of Ghana, Accra P.O.
