“…However, in the two-day measurement conditions, the process did not present significant difference among cycles I, IV and V, in no-tilled soil, and in cycles I, III, V, in conventional tillage, in relation to the other treatments (Table 4). These differences clearly demonstrate the effect of evaporative atmospheric demand on the soil water evaporation (Song et al, 2014;Aydin et al, 2015), since there was no significant difference in soil moisture in no-tillage among the evaluation cycles, except in cycle IV for the soil under conventional tillage (Table 5). Thus, if water is available on the soil surface (Zribi et al, 2015), the meteorological conditions define the potential for evaporation (Balwinder-Singh et al, 2014;Song et al, 2014;Teng et al, 2014;Tran et al, 2016), especially in stage I (Tesfuhuney et al, 2015) as described by Lemon (1956).…”
