Project Background
This agreement is to provide financial assistance to the Colorado State University to field test and evaluate the ASCE standardized reference ET equation and recommended crop coefficients for estimating crop water use (ET) at selected Colorado locations. The project will test and evaluate a recently developed approach to estimating crop ET and incorporate it in an irrigation scheduling tool that can lead to improved irrigation efficiency.
