Abstract
Accurate and timely estimation of evapotranspiration has a significant and critical impact on the planning of water resources and agriculture. In this research, the estimation of evapotranspiration of sugarcane in Khuzestan province has been studied, and the data used, have been air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and sunny hours since the establishment of synoptic station until 2014. For this purpose, the evapotranspiration values of the reference plant were first calculated using the FAO Penman-Monteith standard method and then, using available plant coefficients, the amount of sugarcane evapotranspiration was estimated at different stages of growth. The results of this study show that the average sugarcane evapotranspiration in Khuzestan province has been 3.35 mm / day in June and in the early stages of growth, 10.46 mm/day in the middle stages of growth, and 6.26 mm / day in the final stages of growth. The value of this parameter in July was estimated 3.59 mm/day in the early stages, 11.23 mm/day in the middle stages and 6.74 mm/day in the final stages of growth. Finally, the amount of evapotranspiration of sugarcane in August was estimated 3.56 mm per day in the early stages of growth, 11.12 mm/day in the middle stages and 6.67mm per day in the final stages of the growth. The maximum daily and monthly evapotranspiration has occurred in July and the minimum in June. Also, the highest daily and monthly fluctuations of sugarcane evapotranspiration have occurred in the middle stages of growth and the lowest in the early stages of growth.
