Dendrometry as an indicator for the rational management of irrigation has been a topic of discussion in recent times due to the search for lower water consumption and increased efficiency in the use of water by agricultural crops. In view of the lack of information, this integrative review aimed to present a study on the dendrometry techniques used in the management of irrigation aimed at determining the water consumption of crops. A study was carried out with data collection from sources, through bibliographic research and integrative review, with the guiding question: dendrometry techniques in irrigation management guarantee greater efficiency in the use of water and agricultural production with less consumption water? These techniques are based on the plant itself with a need for precision in estimating the data generated and knowing how to interpret them making it a great challenge in the use of dendrometry. From the analysis of secondary data available in the literature, dentrometry techniques reflect on the interactions between the amount of water available in the soil for the plant and the water demand in the atmosphere. Therefore, these techniques and others are being analyzed in order to achieve better water use efficiency and greater agricultural production with less water consumption.
