Abstract

The loss of water due evapo-transpiration from an irrigated wheat field at Poona, measured directly by the gravimetric method on a dally bass is compared with the loss of water from a standard U.S.A. pan evaporimeter. The comparison has been done by taking cumulative totals. It is seen that the two sets of values lie on a fairly smooth curve but that the ratios between the two vary considerably with the stage of growth of the crop. An attempt has been made to express the relationship between evapotranspiration and pan evaporation in a mathematical form. The study also brings out the large evapo-transpirations in the magnitudes of the water loss due to evapo-transpiraion during different growth phases of the wheat crop.
