What is Studies on the Rates of Water Use of Dwarf Wheat and Their Relationship with Potential Values Based on the Climatological Approach about?

Field studies were conducted to assess the field evapotranspiration of dwarf wheat under semi-arid conditions of Hissar (India), and to compare the same with the values obtained by various formulae using meteorological parameters. First irrigation to the crop was given three weeks after sowing and subsequent irrigations when about 50% of the available soil moisture was depleted from the root zone. Measured quantity of water was applied according to the soil moisture deficit in the root zone. The daily rate of water use by wheat was quite low during the early part of the growth (about 2 mm per day). It increased gradually up to ear emergence and grain development (about 5 mm per day) and declined towards maturity. Potential evapotranspiration calculated by Thornthwaite formula was most unreliable for estimating evapotranspiration. Evaporation from the U.S. open pan evaporimeter gave quite closer values to the actual rates, except during nlaturity. Ramdas values did not show much closeness with the actual water use rates. Penman's formula gave values quite closer to the field water use rates. Consumptive use calculated by Blaney-Criddle method did not give appropriate estimate during
