Evapotranspiration and crop coefficients of corn in monoculture and intercropped with jack bean

ABSTRACT This study was carried out to determine the evapotranspiration (ETc) and crop coefficients (Kc) for four stages of “Caatingueiro” corn under the climate condition of Seropédica, RJ, Brazil, using weighing lysimeters. The field trial occurred in 2015, from March 18 to June 25, in two areas c...

Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT This study was carried out to determine the evapotranspiration (ETc) and crop coefficients (Kc) for four stages of “Caatingueiro” corn under the climate condition of Seropédica, RJ, Brazil, using weighing lysimeters. The field trial occurred in 2015, from March 18 to June 25, in two areas cultivated with “Caatingueiro’ corn intercropped with jack bean and in monoculture. The reference evapotranspiration (ETo) was estimated by the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith model and the Kc values were determined by the ratio between ETc and ETo. The Kc values obtained for the intercropping and monoculture systems, were respectively: 0.78 (I); 1.01 (II); 1.10 (III) and 1.01 (IV), and 0.62 (I); 0.92 (II); 1.27 (III) and 0.81 (IV), and they were different from the values presented by FAO. RESUMO Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, determinar a evapotranspiração (ETc) e os coeficientes de cultivo (Kc) para as quatro fases de desenvolvimento do milho Caatingueiro nas condições edafoclimáticas de Seropédica, RJ, utilizando lisímetros de pesagem. O experimento foi realizado de 18/03 a 25/06/2015, em áreas cultivadas com o milho Caatingueiro consorciado com feijão-de-porco e em monocultivo. A evapotranspiração de referência (ETo) foi estimada pela metodologia Penman-Monteith FAO-56 e os valores de Kc determinados pela razão entre ETc e ETo. Os valores de Kc para o consórcio e o monocultivo foram, respectivamente: 0,78 (I); 1,01 (II);1,10 (III) e 1,01 (IV) e 0,62 (I); 0,92 (II); 1,27 (III) e 0,81 (IV) que se diferenciaram dos valores apresentados pela FAO.
