| Abstract:
Only lysimeter permit a direct calculation of evapotranspiration, i.e. water consumption of crops in a certain soil and meterological condition. All other methods are based on derivations from soil or climatic data, which can lead to considerable errors in calculating water requirements. The use of a mobile lysimeter - e.g. with a surface of 0,2 to 1,0 square meter - permits flexible investigations in different locations and right in the field. The lysimeter, thus, provides a standard in determing the effectiveness of different methods of irrigation control. | |
