ABSTRACT Optimization of water use in agriculture is fundamental, particularly in regions where water scarcity is intense, requiring the adoption of technologies that promote increased irrigation efficiency. The objective of this study was to evaluate evapotranspiration models and to estimate the crop coefficients of beet grown in a drainage lysimeter in the Agreste region of Alagoas. The experiment was conducted at the Campus of the Federal University of Alagoas - UFAL, in the municipality of Arapiraca, AL, between March and April 2014. Crop evapotranspiration (ETc) was estimated in drainage lysimeters and reference evapotranspiration (ETo) by Penman-Monteith-FAO 56 and Hargreaves-Samani methods. The Hargreaves-Samani method presented a good performance index for ETo estimation compared with the Penman-Monteith-FAO method, indicating that it is adequate for the study area. Beet ETc showed a cumulative demand of 202.11 mm for a cumulative reference evapotranspiration of 152.00 mm. Kc values determined using the Penman-Monteith-FAO 56 and Hargreaves-Samani methods were overestimated, in comparison to the Kc values of the FAO-56 standard method. With the obtained results, it is possible to correct the equations of the methods for the region, allowing for adequate irrigation management.

<p>A cultura da mamona é considerada resistente a deficiências hídricas, no entanto, apresenta considerável incremento de produtividade quando submetida à irrigação. Para o adequado manejo da irrigação um dos critérios passíveis de serem adotados baseia-se na evapotranspiração da cultura (ETc) e para tanto torna-se necessário o conhecimento do valor do coeficiente de cultura (Kc). Com o presente trabalho objetivou-se determinar o Kc da mamoneira em plantio adensado, no período de safrinha, utilizando-se lisímetro de drenagem. Foram utilizados três lisímetros de drenagem, com dimensões de 1,2 m de comprimento, 1,4 m de largura e 1,2 m de profundidade. Nos lisímetros foram plantadas oito mudas de mamoneira da cultivar Al Guarany 2002 com espaçamento de 0,3 m entre plantas e 0,7 m entre linhas. A ETc foi contabilizada no intervalo de 5 a 12 dias, conforme se observou o fim da drenagem. A evapotranspiração de referência (ETo) foi estimada pela equação de Penman-Monteith-FAO. A partir da relação ETc/ETo obteve-se o Kc para os diferentes períodos ao longo do ciclo da cultura. Os valores de ETc encontrados nas fases inicial, de crescimento, intermediária e final foram 1,65; 3,07; 9,14 e 5,85 mm d<sup>-1</sup> respectivamente. Os valores de Kc para as fases mencionadas foram 0,98; 1,41; 2,11 e 1,65 respectivamente.</p><p align="center"><strong><em>Use of drainage lysimeter for obtaining Kc of castor bean in dense plantation</em></strong></p><p><strong>Abstract</strong><strong>: </strong>Castor bean culture is considered resistant to water deficit. However, it presents considerable increase in productivity when submitted to irrigation. For the adequate irrigation management, one of the criterion considered is based on the crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and is necessary for finding the crop coefficient (Kc) value. With the present work, we aimed at determining the Kc of the castor bean in dense plantation, during the off-season, using a drainage lysimeter. Three drainage lysimeters, with dimensions of 1.2 m of length, 1.4 m of width and 1.2 m of depth, were used. In the lysimeters, eight castor bean seedlings, cultivar Al Guarany 2002 were planted with spacing of 0.3 m between plants and 0.7 m between lines.  The ETc was calculated considering the interval from 5 to 12 days, according to the end of drainage. The reference evapotranspiration (ETo) was estimated by the Penman-Monteith-FAO equation. From the ETc/ETo relation, we obtained the Kc for the different periods over the crop cycle. The ETc values found in the initial, growing, intermediate and final phases were of 1.65; 3.07; 9.14 and 5.85 mm d<sup>-</sup><sup>1</sup>, respectively. The Kc values for the mentioned phases were of 0.98; 1.41; 2.11 and 1.65, respectively.</p>

B.EVAPOTRANSPIRATION AND CROP COEFFICIENTS OF POTTED Alstroemeria x hybrida GROWN IN GREENHOUSE   2 ABSTRACT The determination of water requirements of a crop throughout its cycle is critical for a proper irrigation management. The objective of this study was to determine the evapotranspiration and crop coefficient (Kc) of Alstroemeria x hybrida grown under greenhouse conditions. The crop evapotranspiration (ETc) was determined by weighing lysimeters, and the reference evapotranspiration (ETo) was estimated by the Penman-Monteith method. The Experiment was conducted under controlled conditions at the Polytechnic College of UFSM, Santa Maria, RS, and the treatment comprised five depths for water replacement associated to the pot retention capacity (WHC) (30, 45, 60, 75 and 90% of WHC). The experimental design adopted was completely randomized, with ten repetitions, one plant per pot.   For the evaluation of Kc, 90% of the container capacity was consideredas limit. The crop coefficient was obtained by the relationship between the crop evapotranspiration and reference evapotranspiration. Our results demonstrated that water consumption for Alstroemeria x hybrida in the treatments with a limit of water availability varied from 47.6 mm to 207.8 mm. The average crop coefficient of Alstroemeria x hybrida grown under greenhouse conditions was 0.39 for the growth stages, 0.41 for the beginning of flowering, 0.95 for flowering, and1.50 and 0.75 for full flowering and for the end of the flowering, respectively. Keywords: water consumption, cut flower, irrigation management, crop coefficient.

ABSTRACT This study was carried out to evaluate the contributions to the optimization of water use in a carrot crop under different forms of mulch using Gliricidia sepium, fertilization with castor bean cakes and irrigation water depths. The experiment was conducted in Seropédica, RJ, Brazil (22º 46’ S and 43º 41’ W), from June to September 2010. The experiment was conducted using a split-split-plot scheme (5 x 3 x 2), with four replicates. The five plots had irrigation depths corresponding to 0, 43, 72, 100 and 120% of crop evapotranspiration (ETc); the three subplots contained the different forms of mulch (whole leaves (WL) and chopped leaves and branches (CLB)) and the absence of mulch (AM); and the two sub-subplots contained either the presence (PF) or absence of fertilization (AF). Using time domain reflectometry (TDR) in the irrigation management, water depths ranging from 67.8 to 285.5 mm were applied. The use of mulch in association with fertilization led to higher yields and water-use efficiency (WUE) of the carrot plants, and the mulch composed of WL performed best. The application of irrigation depths corresponding to 97% of ETc promoted the highest carrot yields, although the highest values of WUE were observed, with irrigation depths corresponding to a range from 51 to 68% of ETc.

ABSTRACT Efficient water use in agriculture is fundamental, especially in semi-arid regions where water scarcity is intense. The aim of this study was to estimate water requirements and crop coefficients in the different phenological stages of Moringa oleifera. The experiment was carried out from February to April 2015 at the Experimental Unit for Reuse and Hydrological Management, located in Mutuca, PE (7º 15’ 18’’ S, 35º 52’’ 40’’ W, 550 m). A lysimeter was used to estimate crop evapotranspiration. Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) was estimated by indirect methods. In the lysimeter, soil salinity and leaf water potential of the crop were monitored. The direct and indirect methods presented an excellent performance compared with the standard grass-lysimeter, especially Hargreaves-Samani, which presented a remarkable result for the study area. Crop coefficients (Kc) ranged from 0.73 to 1.73 in the different phenological stages. Moringa crop evapotranspiration (ETc) exhibited temporal variations, with a cumulative rate of 139.8 mm, for a cumulative reference evapotranspiration of 130.97 mm. Moringa plants showed slight water restriction, at the times of lower solar radiation.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to analyze different irrigation strategies in two cultivars of the banana crop. The study was conducted in four production cycles of ‘Prata-Anã’ and ‘BRS Platina’ bananas. The applied irrigation depths (ID) were obtained by the model ID = K x LA x ETo, where K is an empirical transpiration constant of 0.20; 0.35; 0.50 and 0.65 for the strategies 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively; LA is the leaf area of mother and daughter plants of ‘Prata-Anã’ and ETo is the reference evapotranspiration. The strategy 5 was obtained according to the crop evapotranspiration, ETc = ETo x Kc, where Kc is the crop coefficient. Drip irrigation system was used, with two laterals per plant row and emitters with flow rate of 8 L h-1, spaced at 0.50 m. It was found that ‘Prata-Anã’ is more efficient than ‘BRS Platina’ in terms of water use and the model for irrigation management, ID = 0.35 x LA x ETo, is recommended to optimize water use by ‘Prata-Anã’ and ‘BRS Platina’ bananas, with increase in water use efficiency and maintenance of yield. The same model, with K coefficient equal to 0.50, makes it possible to obtain yield and water use efficiency equal to those obtained with irrigation management based on the ETc.

The present study aimed to validate the MOPECO crop simulation model and to determine a viable irrigation management for watermelon in the semiarid region of Northeast Brazil, using methodologies of optimized regulated deficit irrigation (ORDI) and constant deficit irrigation (CDI). The experiment was carried out during October to December 2013 and the second one from July to August 2014 in plots of land of producers in the Baixo Acaraú Irrigated Perimeter – Ceará, Brazil. Treatments were characterized by ORDI management (70, 80, 90% ETa/ETm ratio) and CDI management along the entire cycle (70, 80 and 90% ETm) and control treatment, irrigated with 100% of the water requirement of the crop (ETm). In terms of saving of water resources, the results showed that management with regulated deficit irrigation leads to favorable and economically viable results for the farmer, of water saving, especially in a situation of severe water scarcity, irrigation management with regulated water deficit (ORDI) can provide favorable and economically viable results for the farmer. The highest value of WUE (41.8 kg m-3) was obtained with the treatment of lowest water volume applied (352.1 L) in the second experiment, decreasing with the increase in the water volume used. The ORDI methodology represents a better water use efficiency for all treatments of deficit applied compared to CDI treatments. The difference of ORDI and CDI methodology provided an increase of up to 200% in the gross margin obtained with the exploration of the watermelon culture which represents a range of R$ 986.00 in profit in a situation of water scarcity, as in the case of the studied region, the strategy with water supply of 70% of ETa/ETm ratio regulated by phenological stage was recommended in order to obtain highest water use efficiency.

ABSTRACT Sorghum is of significant economic importance for Northeastern Brazil, since it exhibits high growth rates in regions with irregular rainfall distribution and high temperatures, and is an alternative to corn, which has greater water requirements. Despite being a traditional crop in the region, there are few studies on irrigation management in the Apodi plateau. The aim of this study was to determine the evapotranspiration of the crop and the crop coefficient (Kc) for the different stages of sorghum growth in two cycles, and establish the relationship between the Kc and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) obtained by radiometry. Two weighing lysimeters were used to estimate crop evapotranspiration (ETc). Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) was estimated by the Penman-Monteith method (FAO) and the crop coefficient determined using two methodologies: simple Kc and dual Kc. Total crop evapotranspiration in the two cycles was 452 and 557 mm. The ETc value was 23% higher in the second cycle compared to the first. The maximum Kc values for the first and second cycles were 1.21 and 1.35, respectively, using the dual Kc methodology. The linear relationship found between the Kc values and the NDVI allows monitoring and estimating the water requirements of the crop.

A evapotranspiração constitui no principal elemento envolvido nas exigências hídricas das culturas, sua estimativa deve ser precisa, sendo utilizada no manejo da irrigação, como também na tomada de decisão que consiste em determinar se a cultura atende as condições edafoclimáticas da região. Um dos métodos de manejo da irrigação que se destaca por aproximar ao máximo a quantidade ideal de água a ser oferecida à cultura é a determinação da evapotranspiração da cultura (ETc). Sendo assim, o presente trabalho objetivou em estimar a evapotranspiração da cultura (ETc) e do coeficiente de cultura (Kc) para diferentes fases fenológicas na melancia. A variedade utilizada foi a Crimson Sweet, semeados no espaçamento de 1,5 m x 0,75 m onde o sistema de irrigação empregado foi por gotejamento. Para tanto, o experimento foi conduzido na área experimental da Unidade acadêmica de Garanhuns da UFRPE, no período de 01/02/2013 a 07/04/2013. O cálculo do Kc foi obtido pela relação entre ETc e ETo calculada pelo método do balanço hídrico do solo e estimada pelo método de tanque Classe A, respectivamente, no período de 01 até 66 dias após o plantio (DAP). A evapotranspiração média da cultura da melancia nos 66 dias do balanço foi de 11,36 mm dia-1 e os valores médios dos coeficientes de cultivo (Kc) obtidos pela relação entre ETc e ETo foram 1,80; 1,97; 1,84 e 1,60 para a fase vegetativa, floração, maturação e colheita, respectivamente, e o máximo consumo de água pela cultura deu-se no estádio de floração. A B S T R A C T Evapotranspiration is the main element involved in crop water requirements, your estimate should be accurate, by using management of irrigation systems also with decision making that is whether the culture meets the ecological conditions of the region. One of the methods of irrigation management approach that stands out the most optimum amount of water to be offered to culture is the estimate of crop evapotranspiration (ETc). Therefore, this study aimed to determine the crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and crop coefficient (Kc) for different stages of crop development watermelon. We used the Crimson Sweet variety, sown at a spacing of 1.5 mx 0.75 m where the irrigation system was used drip. Therefore, an experiment was conducted at the experimental unit of Academic Garanhuns/UFRPE, from 01/02/2013 to 07/04/2013. The calculation of Kc was obtained by the ratio of ETc and ETo calculated by the method of soil water balance and estimated by the method of Class A pan, respectively, from 01 to 66 days after planting (DAP). The average evapotranspiration of watermelon crop in 66 days the balance was 11.36 mm day-1 and the average values of crop coefficients (Kc) obtained by the relationship between ETc and ETo were 1.80, 1.97, 1, 84 and 1.60 for the vegetative stage, flowering, ripening and harvesting, respectively, and the maximum water consumption by the crop yield in the flowering stag
