Various types of traffic data are collected and analyzed in the performance of these studies and are available to the public. As the mid and late season stages of deciduous trees are quite long, the specific adjustment of K c to RH min and u 2 should take into account the varying climatic conditions throughout the season. Therefore, several adjustments of K c are often required if the mid and late seasons cover several climatic seasons, e.g., spring, summer and autumn or wet and dry seasons. The K c ini and K c end for evergreen non dormant trees and shrubs are often not different, where climatic conditions do not vary much, as happens in tropical climates. Under these conditions, seasonal adjustments for climate may therefore not be required since variations in ET c depend mostly on variations in ET o.Once the K c values have been derived, the crop evapotranspiration, ET c, can be calculated by multiplying the K c values by the corresponding ET o values. Graphical determination of K c A general procedure is to construct the K c curve, overlay the curve with the lengths of the weeks, decade or months, and to derive graphically from the curve the K c value for the period under consideration (Figure 36). Assuming that all decades have a duration of 10 days facilitates the derivation of K c and introduces little error into the calculation of ET c.This curve has been overlaid with the lengths of the decades. K c values of 0.15, 1.19 and 0.35 and the actual lengths for growth stages equal to 25, 25, 30 and 20 days were used. The crop was planted at the beginning of the last decade of May and was harvested 100 days later at the end of August.The value at the middle of the decade is considered to be the average K c of that 10 day period. Only the second decade of June, where the K c value changes abruptly, requires some calculation.Initial values for K c ini, K c mid and K c end are selected from Table 12 as 0.4, 1.15, and 0.35.The initial Also shown are ET o during the initial period at Therefore, as the wetting events were This illustrates the importance of using the local observation of 30 days for mid-season period length rather than the general value from Table 11.Note the impact that the error in estimating mid-season length has on the area under the K c curve. This supports the need to obtain local observations of growth stage dates and lengths.Some of this effect was due to effects of increased soil water evaporation following four irrigations during the 1974 mid-season which increased the effective K c.Measured K c during the development period exceeded the final K c curve during days on or following wetting events. The day to day variation in the lysimeter measured K c is normal and is caused by day to day variations in weather, in wind direction, by errors in prediction of R n and ET o, and by some random errors in the lysimeter measurements and weather measurements. During the crop development and late season stage, K c varies linearly between the K c at the end of the previous stage (K c prev ) and the K c at the beginning of the next stage (K c next ), which is K c end in the case of the late season stage:These are the alfalfa-based K c curves by Wright (1981; 1982) and grass-based curves by Pruitt (Doorenbos and Pruitt 1977; Jensen et al. 1990) and those reported in this paper. The user must exercise caution to avoid mixing grass-based K c values with alfalfa reference ET and vice versa. Usually, a K c based on the alfalfa reference can be 'converted' for use with a grass reference by multiplying by a factor ranging from about 1.0 to 1.3, depending on the climate (1.05 for humid, calm conditions, and 1.2 for semi-arid, moderately windy conditions, and 1.35 for arid, windy conditions):Transferability of previous K c values Similarly adjustments in K c mid to compensate for differences in aerodynamic roughness and leaf area, as introduced in Equation 62 are derived from the K c values given for different wind and RH min conditions in the concerned K c table in FAO-24, with some upward adjustment to better reflect increased ET crop values under high wind and low RH min when applied with the FAO Penman-Monteith equation.The FAO Penman-Monteith equation presented in this publication similarly represents the same standardized grass reference. For that reason K c values are in general not very different between these publications except under high wind and low RH min.K c values derived from crop water use studies which used the FAO-24 Penman equation to compute grass reference crop evapotranspiration, can therefore not be used and need to be adjusted using ET o values estimated from the FAO Penman-Monteith equation. Similarly crop water requirement estimates based on the FAO-24 Modified Penman equation will need to be reassessed in view of the found differences between the FAO-24 Penman and the FAO Penman-Monteith reference equations.
