Abstract Field experiment was conducted during dry season of 1981 and 1982 to determine the optimal irrigation schedule for summer peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) in relation to evaporative demand and crop water requirement at different growth stages. It was observed that peanut crop requires a higher irrigation frequency schedule during pegging to pod formation stage followed by pod development to maturity and planting to flowering stages. The higher pod yield and water use efficiency was obtained when irrigations were scheduled at an irrigation water to the cumulative pan evaporation ratio of 0.5 during planting to flowering, 0.9 during pegging to pod formation and 0.7 during pod development to maturity stage. The profile water contribution to total crop water use was higher under less frequent irrigation schedules particularly when the irrigations were scheduled at 0.5 irrigation water to the cumulative pan evaporation ratio up to the pod formation stage.

The accurate water use information at each stage of plant growth is important to better understand the efficient and precise crop water requirement for optimal plant productivity. Nurseries of palm oil are a phase where young palm oil requires extra maintenance, particularly in meeting the plant water needs. The palm oil in the nursery phase require the regular irrigation schedule due to the vulnerable root systems. The purpose of this study was to calculate the oil palm water requirement with Cropwat 8.0 toward the precise irrigation management and provide a scenario for irrigation scheduling in palm oil nursery. The study was conducted in palm oil main nurseries at KP2 Instiper Yogyakarta with site-specific climate data and soil properties. The method used is analyzing climate data and soil properties and simulating crop water requirements, actual water use and irrigation scheduling with Cropwat 8.0. Based on the results, the average of crop water requirement (ETP) of palm oil in main nursery is 3.4 mm / day. Based on the water deficit scenario from rainfall and crop water requirements, irrigation is scheduling in April for 1.4 mm, May for 18.3 mm, June for  3.5 mm, July for 44.1 mm and August for 42.8 mm. On a daily scale and taking into account the availability of soil moisture and the water retention of plant roots, the net irrigation scheduling is given at an average of 2.2 mm / day and gross irrigation of 6 mm / day which is given daily depending on rainfall and plant age.

<p>This study focuses on the estimation of soil moisture deficit from root zone soil moisture information derived from remotely sensed passive microwave surface soil moisture data for a period of fifteen years (2002 to 2016) for the Indo-Gangetic basin. The remote sensing datasets used to estimate soil moisture deficit are Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS (AMSR-E) and Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - 2 (AMSR-2) by JAXA and NASA. As India is an agrarian country, it is one of the largest producers of sugarcane at the global level and hence, this is the test crop considered for this work. The Indo-Gangetic basin has numerous culturable command areas with dynamic meteorological patterns, soil type, land use and land cover, agricultural practices, water and crop management with different sources of irrigation. Rain-fed irrigation is the primary source of water for crop production in this basin. Sugarcane crop is characterised by specific root depth, crop water requirement, crop length and crop phenology. In India, meteorological parameters primarily, precipitation, temperature and evapotranspiration and the meteorological seasons define the agricultural season (irrigation to harvesting). Here, an interrelationship between soil moisture deficit (at varying depth) and meteorological parameters, precipitation based meteorological indices (Rainfall Anomaly Index, Standardized Precipitation Index and Effective Drought Index), ground-based crop indices (crop yield index, crop area index and crop production index) is analysed at the annual and seasonal scale. The study indicates the paramount effect of the aforementioned factors on soil moisture deficit variable. The temporal variation of soil moisture deficit being served as a proxy for crop water requirement and the model developed from the same provides vital information for an efficient irrigation scheduling, sustainable water resource management for increased crop production and developing crop insurance schemes and policies at the basin level.</p>

The results of this study revealed that the pan evaporation and sensor based irrigation scheduling along with fertigation scheduling significantly affected the plant height, fruit weight, fruit length, crop water requirement, crop yield and water use efficiency of okra crop. The pan evaporation and crop evapotranspiration (ETc) values significantly vary over different stages of okra crop. The maximum and minimum average daily pan evaporation was recorded 8.4 mm day-1 and 4.5 mm day-1 at mid stage and late stage of okra crop respectively while, the maximum average daily ETc was recorded 7 mm day-1 at mid stage of okra crop. A approach of irrigation scheduling with 100 per cent field capacity, based on soil moisture sensor under automated drip irrigation system along with 100 per cent RDF through fertigation in equal splits at 4 day intervalor 80 % per cent of volume of crop water requirement based on pan evaporation under automated drip irrigation along with 100 per cent RDF through fertigation in equal splits at 2 day interval, can be used for irrigating okra crop with significant water saving, crop yield and water use efficiency under limited availability of daily weather datain climatic condition of Udaipur district of Rajasthan.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Assessment and monitoring of crop water requirement (CWR) or crop evapotranspiration (ETc) over a large spatial scale is the critical component for irrigation and drought management. Due to growing competition and increasing shortage of water, careful utilization of water in irrigation is essential. The usage of water for irrigation/agriculture is a top priority for countries like Pakistan, where the GDP mostly based on agriculture, and its scarcity may affect the crop production. Remote sensing techniques can be used to estimate crop water requirement or crop evapotranspiration which can help in efficient irrigation. Simplified-surface energy balance index (SSEBI) model is used to estimate evapotranspiration (ET) of wheat during 2015&amp;ndash;16 growing period in Tando Adam, Sindh. Landsat-8 satellite data for the corresponding years were used. With the help of National Agromet Centre report chart of Crop coefficient (Kc) the CWR, ETc of all phonological stages were estimated. Results indicated that maximum ET and maximum CWR were found in the third leaf to tillering stage with a value of 0.75 and 0.89 respectively. This study will help in managing and monitoring of ET spatial distribution over irrigated crops which results in better irrigation scheduling and water consumption.</p>
