| Abstract | The objective of this study is to investigate the possibilities of developing prediction equation for estimating evapotransPiration frOm climatological data for different locations. For this purpose, flooded rice in Thailand and Australia, Alfalfa in Arizona, U.S.A., Sorghum in Nebraska, U.S.A., Soybean at South Carolina, U.S.A., Corn at Ohio, U.S.A., grass grown at Ohio, U.S.AJ are chosen. For different crops, different regression equations are developed. The computed result is compared with observed lysimeter ET. Daily ET estimates are within 85—95% of the observed lysimeter estimates. Adequacy of the equations were tested statistically. |
