Considering the current water scarcity of Northwest China, aiming at sustainable agricultural development in this region, it is required to identify and apply the most appropriate practices for water-saving, and yield and water productivity improvement. Relative to the tomato crop, a two-year...

The main objectives of this study were to assess and partition soybean evapotranspiration and modelling to predict yields. The SIMDualKc water balance model, that adopts the dual crop coefficient approach, was used to evaluate the transpiration and soil evaporation components. Transpiration...

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 coefficient (Ke) and a basal crop coefficient (Kcb), respectively, with Kc=Ke+Kcb. This approach may be more...
