This research was aimed at understanding the hydrological and plant controls on RWU simulations dominated by the health of the tree using experimental and numerical frameworks. Two research plots, one around a healthy mature and the other around a diseased mature (Phytophthora spp. affected) orange tree (Citrus reticulate Blanco), in the Vidarbha region of India were considered for our analysis. Three‐dimensional electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) performed at the two locations revealed that the soil moisture profiles following irrigation are different between the two plots. A two‐dimensional axisymmetric form of Richards' equation was then solved using HYDRUS (2D/3D) by incorpor...
