Investigation of a simple method to estimate daily crop water requirement and crop coefficient of sugarcane
Upgrading the crop coefficient from FAO-56 is strongly recommended for locally determining crop water requirements. A low-cost and simple method should be practiced in place of a costly lysimeter. The trial wa...
