Estimation of crop water requirements in arid region using Penman–Monteith equation with derived crop coefficients: a case study on Acala cotton in Sudan Gezira irrigated scheme

Development of Rotational Water Allocation Plan for Jaisamand Irrigation Project

“…It was observed that high FWUE and CWUE found in wheat crop followed by barley and gram respectively. Such results were also reported by Abdelhadi et al, (1999) and Akkuzu et al, (2007).…”

Effects of Irrigation and Straw Mulching on Microclimate Characteristics and Water Use Efficiency of Winter Wheat in North Chinas

“…K c is the crop coeffi cient (Table 4) calculated using equation (12) mentioned below (Abdelhadi et al, 2000):…”

Risk Assessment of Regional Irrigation Water Demand and Supply in an Arid Inland River Basin of Northwestern China

“…The calculation methods of crop water requirement at the point scale can be summarized as the direct [10,11] and indirect methods [12,13]. Recently, the indirect method is widely adopted to calculate crop water requirement at the point scale in the world [7][8][9][12][13][14][15]. The calculation principle is based on the sufficient irrigation of crops, and the crop water requirement is mainly restricted by meteorological and crop physiological conditions.…”

“…Consequently, the crop water requirement can be obtained by firstly calculating reference crop evapotranspiration (ET0) and then correction by the crop coefficient (Kc). The Penman-Monteith method is widely applied in calculating ET0 [7,14,15], and it is featured by wide range of application and reliable calculation results [13,16,17]. Many previous studies have been conducted to estimate crop water requirement per unit area [8,9,18].…”
