Abstract
The equation developed by Maulé et al. (2006) was found to be the best reference ET alternative to the Penman-Monteith equation with a mean relative error of 11%. However, when models were validated against measured crop ET, the simpler radiation-based Turc and Makkink models were found to be the most useful models with daily mean relative errors ranging from 16% to 49%, outperforming the widely accepted Penman-Monteith model. Discrepancies in the GDD-based crop coefficients were found to also contribute to errors; however, results show the potential transferability of GDD-based coefficients across different locations and climatic conditions.
