? 2022 Elsevier B.V.The implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in parallel with remote sensing could be a powerful tool to manage irrigation scheduling on crops with narrow thresholds between water stress levels, such as cherry trees. This research assessed the water status of 'Regina' cherry trees using machine learning (ML) modeling from data extracted automatically using infrared thermal imagery (IRTI). These models were used to predict stomatal conductance (gs) and stem water potential (Ψs) (Model 1) and a complete assessment using a matrix differential analysis procedure per IRTI of cherry tree canopies' temperature and relative humidity (Model 2). Results showed that the supervised ML regression models presented high and significant correlation coefficients (R = 0.83 and R = 0.81, respectively) without signs of overfitting assessed through their performance. The complex interactions among climatic factors, the soil moisture, and canopy architecture observed in cherry trees or any other fruit tree oblige exploring the performance of ML-based models to offer simple alternatives for decision-making processes in the field.
