EVALUATION OF METHODS FOR ESTIMATING DAILY REFERENCE CROP EVAPOTRANSPIRATION AT A SITE IN THE HUMID SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES

Estimated daily reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo) is normally used to determine the water requirement ofcrops using the crop factor method. Many ETo estimation methods have been developed for different types of climatic data,and the accuracy of these methods varies with climatic conditions. In this study, pair-wise comparisons were made betweendaily ETo estimated from eight different ETo equations and ETo measured by lysimeter to provide...
