Near real-time irrigation scheduling using the Bowen ratio technique
The actual evapotranspiration rate for wheat at the Campus Agriculture Center (CAC) and alfalfa at the Maricopa Agricultural Center (MAC) were measured using the Bowen ratio technique for near real-time irrigation scheduling. The Bowen ratio method underestimated evapotranspiration when compared wit...
