Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Alfalfa evapotranspiration dynamics were consistent with the growth stages and cuttings in 2009 and 2010.
- Association In the 2nd cutting cycle (May-June) of 2009 and 2010, the ratio of ETec to reference evapotranspiration showed good agreement with tabulated crop coefficients.
- Association In the 3rd cutting cycle (July-August), the ratio ETec/ET0 was considerably lower than Kc in both years.
- Method / resource The energy balance closure test of the eddy covariance measurements gave satisfactory results.
