this study was conducted to determine the yield response factor (ky) of sugar beet to deficit irrigation at different growth stages. a field experiment was conducted in sharekord agricultural research station over two growing crop seasons (1996 -1997) using a randomized complete block design with three replications. plots were assigned to five levels of deficit irrigation treatments: e0 (full i...

Wheat is an important crop of India. Precise estimates of evapotranspiration can be obtained by multiplying crop coefficients to reference evapotranspiration using readily available climatic data. PenmanMonteith equation is adopted world wide as the most reliable and accurate method for computing reference evapotranspiration. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) presented crop coefficien...

During the last 6 decades, forest biomass has increased in Sweden mainly due to forest management, with a possible increasing effect on evapotranspiration. However, increasing global CO2 concentrations may also trigger physiological water-saving responses in broadleaf tree species, and to a lesser degree in some needleleaf conifer species, inducing an opposite effect. Additionally, changes in o...

About 50 to 80 percent of precipitation in the southeastern United States returns to the atmosphere by evapotranspiration. As evapotranspiration is a major component in the forest water balances, accurately quantifying it is critical to predicting the effects of forest management and global change on water, sediment, and nutrient yield from forested watersheds. However, direct measurement of fo...

The estimation model was constructed to estimate the evapotranspiration and canopy interception from the forest stand using the parameters showing the forest structure such as stem density, tree height and leaf area index. This model is expected to have the ability to estimate the effect of forest management such as stem thinning and leaf amount control. Comparing the calculated rate by this mo...
