Abstract | The applicability of microlysimeter in wetland rice was studied using 6 microlysimeters in 3 crops each. Difference in crop development and yield components between lysimeter and field were inconsistent. Percentage of filled spakelet was clearly statistical higher in field than lysimeter , especially in second and third crops. Number of panicle per hill and spikelet per panicle were also greater in field than lysimeter crops. The variability of ET estimates decreased with increasing time interval. The average daily coefficient of variation was within 10 to 25 %. Due to technical constraints the minimum time interval over which evapotranspiration can be determined is 24 hours. |
