Abstract

Estimating right amount of crop water requirement is the need for designing, establishing and managing irrigation projects, and scheduling irrigation. The objective of this study was to estimate the seasonal water demand and crop coefficient of wheat for effective irrigation water planning and management. Field experiment was carried out at Melkassa Agricultural Research Center, Ethiopia during wet growing season under lysimeter. Two non-weighing type lysimeters with the dimension of 1m × 2m area and 1m depth were used to determine the daily ETc of wheat crop.
