water stress

estrés hídrico

stress hydrique

水压 /shuǐ yā/

Agriculture | n. phr.

the state of stress of a plant at the moment when the amount of water it requires is greater than it can absorb from the soil.

Example

It appears that groves that have been under regimes of water-stress may not respond immediately to improved water-supply regimes, and yields may stagnate.
