Efficient water management of crops requires accurate irrigation scheduling which, in turn,
requires the accurate measurement of crop water requirement. Irrigation is applied to …

Drip irrigation has been gradually adopted for winter wheat production in the North China
Plain (NCP) due to significant saving from using irrigation water and improving water and …

The great challenge of the agricultural sector is to produce more food from less water, which
can be achieved by increasing Crop Water Productivity (CWP). Based on a review of 84 …

The monitoring of crop production and irrigation at a regional scale can be based on the use
of ecosystem process models and remote sensing data. The former simulate the time …

This study was performed to test three methods based on the FAO-56 “dual” crop coefficient
approach to estimate actual evapotranspiration (AET) for winter wheat under different …

The rice-wheat rotation system is one of the largest agricultural production systems
worldwide. Accurate estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) in the rice-wheat rotation system …

Highlights•The total seasonal ET c was∼ 337 and∼ 265 mm, respectively for full and deficit
irrigation.•The K c values at mid and late stages reduced by 25.6% and 30%, respectively …

Water resource management is pivotal for sustainable operations, particularly in agriculture,
as, for example, the sector accounts for about 70% of the global freshwater exploitation …

Evapotranspiration (ET) estimation is important for water management decision tools. In this
study, different ET data with varying resolution, accuracy, and functionality were reviewed …

The dual crop coefficient (Kc) approach to estimate crop evapotranspiration (ETc) separately
considers soil evaporation (E) and plant transpiration (T) by computing a soil evaporation …
