Active THz inspection of water content in plants

THz range offers the possibility of measuring water content. This is really useful in wine industry to control plants water levels and also to decrease irrigation costs. Therefore, a THz imaging system has been used to characterised water content in leaves using frequency and time domain methods from 0.14 to 0.22 THz
