Crop Water requirement

Description

Calculate the monthly irrigation requirement of crops based on cumulative probability [p] and daily watering duration of irrigation [h]

Usage

PWN(x1, frvol, R, p, irr)

Arguments

`x1`	Bivariate series of monthly cumulative rainfall and average monthly temperatures
`frvol`	Volume fraction of the soil. It is 0.10 for sandy soil, 0.20 fpr loamy soil, 0.18 for clayey soil, 0.13 for medium-textured soil
`R`	Length of plant roots [cm] — see FAO-24 Mannini reworked, maximum extraction depth
`p`	Cumulative probability of plant's water requirement [percent]
`irr`	Daily watering duration of irrigation [h]

Value

`Values`	Monthly water requirement values [m3/ha] relating to the cumulative probability indicated (p)
`Flow`	Irrigation flow [l/s/ha] relating to the daily watering duration (irr) and cumulative probability (p)
