Estimating upland crop water use in Jeju

제주도 밭작물 용수량 산정방법

Crop evapotranspiration rates of the garlic, potato and carrot were measured in a lysimeter at the National Institute of Subtropical Agriculture. The crop coefficients were calculated using the values of the actually measured evapotranspiration(ETcrop) and the reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo) estimated by the Penman-Monteith equation. The maximum crop coefficients of the garlic, potato, carrot and cabbage were 1.07, 1.07, 0.73 and 0.92 respectively. For the Citrus Aoshima Unshiu and Hallabong in the plastic house, the maximum crop coefficients were 1.38 and 1.29 respectively. Computer program using EXCEL was also developed to estimate the crop water use.
