Abstract

It has been shown that a regression equation relating the cumulative potential transpiration function (T/Eo) with the yield of tops, week of sowing and available fallow moisture, together with a simple budget model, can be used to estimate weekly changes in available soil water under a wheat crop. It is concluded from the data that use of the equation and budget model should be most suited to situations where plant densities are about 60 plants per m2 and the available fallow water is about 150 mm or less.
