Deriving crop coefficients for evergreen and deciduous fruit orchards in South Africa using the fraction of vegetation cover and tree height data

Deriving crop coefficients for evergreen and deciduous fruit orchards in South Africa using the fraction of vegetation cover and tree height data

Inaccurate crop coefficients are major contributing sources of uncertainty that lead to inefficient use of limited available water resources. Understanding the need to improve water use efficiency in South Africa’s fruit industry, this study evaluated the method of deriving crop coefficients develop...
