  abstract = {{I}rrigated agriculture is the largest consumer of freshwater in the world, particularly in the {S}outh {M}editerranean region that is already suffering from water shortages. {M}onitoring the water stress status of plants can contribute to an optimal use of irrigation. {C}-band radar data have shown great potential for monitoring soil and vegetation hydric conditions. {W}hile a diurnal cycle up to 1 d{B} has been observed over tropical forests, the behavior of annual crops is yet to be investigated. {I}n this context, an experiment composed of a radar setup with 6 {C}-band antennas was installed in {M}orocco over a wheat field. 15 minutes full polarization acquisitions of the backscattering coefficient and the interferometric coherence are analyzed in relation with the physiological functioning of wheat. {I}n this paper, the first results from the analysis of data collected during the 2020 growing season are presented. {T}he results reveal the existence of a diurnal cycle of the interferometric coherence and the backscattering coefficient (up to 0.45 and 1.5 d{B}, respectively) with amplitudes increase in relation with vegetation development.},
