Modelling of Evapotranspiration in Different Soils and Crops

Evapotranspiration is one of the main factors in changing of soil moisture that determines timing of irrigation event. Evapotranspiration depends on weather, soil type, and the crop. Results of multiple year experiments on soil moisture, plant water use, and water infiltration in different type of soils and crops in identical weather conditions is the subject of this presentation. Creating an evapotranspiration model could help to understand the mechanism of soil moisture changing and moisture movement in different soil layers, calculate evapotranspiration and help to schedule crop irrigation in the future.
