Abstract :
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
