Evaluation of the effect of irrigation on biometric growth, physiological response and essential oil of Mentha spicata (L.) [PDF]

, 2019
A field experiment was performed on spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) under different irrigation regimes in a hilly area of Southern Italy. Objectives of the study include evaluating the physiological and biometrical response of mint from plant ...

Made in the shade: Leaf responses of native wildflowers to single‐axis photovoltaic solar energy

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As solar energy expands globally, balancing renewable power generation with biodiversity and ecosystem health has become an urgent challenge. This study investigated how native wildflowers respond at leaf level to the unique microclimates created by rotating solar panels in California's Central Valley.

Comparison of different reference evapotranspiration (ET0) models and determination of crop-coefficients of french bean (Phesiolus vulgaris.) in mid hill region of Meghalaya

Journal of Agrometeorology, 2017
The water requirement and crop evapotranspiration (ETc)is determined using reference evapotranspiration (ET0) and crop-coefficient (kc). Numerous models are available for estimation of ET0,among which Penman-Monteith (FAO-56) model is considered to be ...

Prediction Accuracy for Projectwide Evapotranspiration Using Crop Coefficients and Reference Evapotranspiration

Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, 2005
The Imperial Irrigation District is a large irrigation project in the western United States having a unique hydrogeologic structure such that only small amounts of deep percolation leave the project directly as subsurface flows. This structure is conducive to relatively accurate application of a surface water balance to the district, enabling the ...

Using dendroclimatic analysis of exotic deciduous conifers in an arboretum to document tree growth in response to climate change, Northeast Ohio, USA

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Rising temperatures and wetter conditions in the Midcontinent of North America are influencing climate responses in trees. Dendroclimatological analyses of four exotic deciduous conifer species from Secrest Arboretum, Northeast Ohio help identify past, present and future climate‐tree interactions.

Determination of crop evapotranspiration of tea (Thea sinensis) using weighing lysimeter for the Nilgiris

Journal of Agrometeorology, 2009
A long term experiment (1996-2001) was conducted for determining crop evapotranspiration (ETc) of tea (Thea sinensis) using weighing type lysimeter at the Central Soil and Water Conservation Research and Training Institute-Research Centre (CSWCRTI-RC ...

Shoot water content and reference evapotranspiration for determination of crop evapotranspiration

African Crop Science Journal, 2017
Determination of water requirement for crops in resource limited areas is  challenging, yet worsened by the common assumption that all crop varieties within a species have similar water requirements. The objective of the study was to  indirectly determine crop evapotranspiration of soybean varieties, using reference evapotranspiration and shoot water ...

Solar farms can mitigate negative impacts of whiplash weather on plant communities in a dryland ecosystem

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Utility‐scale solar energy (USSE) development generates novel questions regarding coupling clean energy production with terrestrial ecosystem services (e.g., forage production, pollinator support). We found that a USSE array sited in a fallowed cropland maintained a reseeded native plant community even a decade post‐restoration and that the array ...

Effect of deficit irrigation on yield and water use efficiency of onion (Allium cepa L.) in arid zones [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Onion is considered a major vegetable crops all over the world. In arid zones water deficit can affect the yield of crops such as onion. Through this research, four levels of irrigation were used (100% of the calculated crop evapotranspiration ET100, 80%

Reference evapotranspiration of screenhouse‐grown crops

Actas del III Workshop en Investigación Agroalimentaria. WiA 3.1
The reference evapotranspiration Eref was measured under three screenhouses and compared to outside Eref. The reduction with respect to outside Eref was quantified by means of two factors, rad and adv. rad was found to depend linearly on transmittance (), and adv on wind ratio (). A model was proposed for screenhouse Eref based on
