The most common direct method used to estimate crop evapotranspiration is the lysimetric method. Hence, the objective of this work was to construct, install and evaluate the performance of three weighing lysimeters to estimate the water demand of wine grapes (Vitis viniferal L.) cv. Syrah. The lysimeters, 1.2 m width, 2.0 m long, and 1.0 depth, were Construção e Calibração...
