NDMI-based monitoring of canopy moisture retention. Window T-5 to T+15.
This metric detects whether the treatment helped the canopy retain moisture and reduce thermal stress in the first 15 days after application.
| Interval | Moisture Gain | Gain Rate (/day) | Stability (CV) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Before application (T-5 → T0) | +0.001 | +0.000 | 0.004 |
| From T0 to T+5 | +0.002 | +0.000 | 0.003 |
| From T+5 to T+10 | +0.016 | +0.003 | 0.007 |
| From T+10 to T+15 | -0.000 | -0.000 | 0.006 |
| Full window (T0 → T+15) | +0.018 | +0.001 | 0.011 |
