LYSIMETER DETERMINATION OF CROP COEFFICIENT OF DRIP IRRIGATED JATROPHA CURCAS
Keywords:
Mini-drainage lysimeter, soil water balance, Jatropha crop coefficient and drip irrigationAbstract
The study was designed to examine the actual evapotranspiration and crop coefficient (Kc) of eight months old Jatropha curcas grown in mini-drainage lysimeter with a cylindrical drum of circular cross-sectional area of 0.246 m2, diameter 0.56 m and 1.0 m depth. Investigation was conducted with drip irrigation system using five mini lysimeters. Each lysimeter contained one pressure compensating emitter of 4L/hr. Climatic variables were obtained for the determination of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) using the FAO-Penman Monteith model. The value for the crop evapotranspiration (ETc) was determined from the lysimeter using the soil water balance method on daily basis and the crop factor (Kc) was estimated from the ratio of ETc / ETo. The ETo estimated from weather data for the crop growing season ranged from 19.3 to 33.1 mm/day. The average crop coefficient (Kc) values at different growth stages were 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 and 0.8 for the initial, development, mid-season and late season respectively. The research output will enhance the productivity of farmers with optimum water management on large scale Jatropha cultivation.
