Abstract
Crop water stress is a deficiency in plants in water supply when the transpiration rate becomes higher than the water absorption capacity. The stress may be detected by a reduction in soil water content, or by the change in physiological properties of the crop. The leaf water content (LWC) is commonly used to assess the water status of plants, which is one of the indicators of crop water stress. In this work, the leaf relative water contents of four different crops: canola, wheat, soybeans, and corn—all in vegetative growth stage—were determined by a noninvasive tool called, electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Using a frequency range of 5–15 kHz, a strong correlation between leaf water contents and leaf impedances was obtained using multiple linear regression. The trained dataset was validated by analysis of variance tests. Regression results were obtained using the least square method. The optimized regression model coefficients for different crops were proposed by selecting features using the wrapper backward elimination method. Multi-collinearity among the features was considered and individual T-tests were made in the feature selection. A maximum correlation coefficient (R) of 0.99 was obtained for canola compared to the other crops; the corresponding coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.98, an adjusted R2 of 0.93, and root mean square error (rmse) of 0.30% were obtained for 36 features. Therefore, the results show that the proposed technique using EIS can be used to develop a low-cost and effective tool for determining the leaf water contents rapidly and efficiently in multiple crops.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
