Evapotranspiration
If water supply to a plant is adequate, soil moisture will be at the field capacity and
AET=PET
In field plots all the elements of the water budget are measured and the
evapotranspiration is estimated
Evapotranspiration
= Precipitation + Irrigation input – Surface Runoff – Increase in soil storage
– Ground water loss due to deep percolation
Moisture condition of the plot could be kept at the field capacity in order to
minimize ground water loss due to deep percolation, as it is difficult to measure.

The effect of humidity and wind velocity are not considered explicitly. Hence the method
cannot provide accurate estimates for locations with extreme weather conditions
